Question

what is the solution to these problems? If electrical energy costs 12 cents, or $0.12, perkilowatt-hour, then what would the following events cost?
(a) Burn a 100 Wlight bulb for 24 h straight.
$
(b) Operate an electric oven for 7.0 hif it carries a current of 20.0 A at 220 V.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Energy consumed
                 E = 100 W x 24 h = 2400 Wh = 2.4 kWh

Total cost = E x rate ofcost                        = 2.4 kWh x $0.12/kWh                         =$ 0.29 = 29 cents


(b) For an oven wit I = 20 A at220 V for 7 h Energy consumed, E =V.I.t = 220 V x 20 A x 7 h                                 =30800 Wh = 30.8 kWh Total cost,     = E xRate of cost                       = 30.8 kWh x 12 cent/kWh                       = 369.6 cents = $3.70

(b) For an oven wit I = 20 A at220 V for 7 h Energy consumed, E =V.I.t = 220 V x 20 A x 7 h                                 =30800 Wh = 30.8 kWh Total cost,     = E xRate of cost                       = 30.8 kWh x 12 cent/kWh                       = 369.6 cents = $3.70
