Question
An electric bulb is marked 220v60w. An ammeter in the circuit shows the bulb uses a current of 0.2727A. The bulb burns for an hour. Calculate the following:
A. The electrical energy consumption
B. The cost for the bulb to burn for one hour if the cost of electricity is 17.45 cents per kWh.
2.determine the power rating of a stove if it releases 200kJ of heat energy for 4 minutes and 30 seconds
A. The electrical energy consumption
B. The cost for the bulb to burn for one hour if the cost of electricity is 17.45 cents per kWh.
2.determine the power rating of a stove if it releases 200kJ of heat energy for 4 minutes and 30 seconds
Answers
(a) 60W * 1 hr = 60 Wh
(b) .060 kWh * .1745 $/kWh = 0.01
200kJ/270s = 740W
(b) .060 kWh * .1745 $/kWh = 0.01
200kJ/270s = 740W
