electric bulb of 100W is operating 10 hours daily calculate the energy consumed by it in a week in units
Answers
Solution :-
Power rating of the bulb = 100 W
Duration used each day = 10 hours
Number of days = 7
Total energy consumed by the electric bulb = Power*Duration
› E = P*t
› E = 100 W * 10 hours/day * 7
› E = 7000 W-h
› E = 7 kW-h
Therefore, the energy consumed in units is 7 units.
Hope it helps!
Explanation:
What Uses Watts in Your Home
Electricity usage is calculated in kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts used for one hour. As an example, a 100-watt light bulb operating for ten hours would use one kilowatt-hour.
How to calculate electric usage cost:
1. Volts x Amps = Watts
2. Watts ÷ 1,000 = Kilowatts (kW)
3. Kilowatts (kW) x Hours of Use = Kilowatt Hours (kWh)
4. Kilowatt Hours (kWh) x kWh rate = Cost of Usage
5. Add TVA Power Cost Adjustment charge per kWh
Below are some examples of electrical appliances found in most homes. These examples are using a 10 cents per kWh rate.
