Explanation / Answer

(9)

energy cost = 12 cent/kWH

(a)

burning 40W light bulb for 24 hour

E = 40*24

E = 960 W = 0.96 kW

cost = 0.96*0.12

cost = $0.1152

(b)

operating oven for 4 hour

Power = I*V = 20*220

P = 4400 W

E = 4400*4

E = 17600 W = 17.6 kW

cost = 17.6*0.12

cost = $2.112

------------------------------------------------------------

(10)

Power = V*I
P (Watts) = (100 x 10-3)*(1.970 x 10-3)
P = 197 x 10-6 W
P = 197 µW

------------------------------------------------------------

(11)

cost of electricity = $0.120/kWh

(a)

80W porch light for 2 weeks(336 hours)

E = 80*336

E = 26880 W = 26.88 kW

cost = 26.88*0.12

cost = $3.2256

(b)

using 890W toaster for 3 min

E = 890*0.05

E = 44.5 W = 0.0445 kW

cost = 0.0445*0.12

cost = $0.00534

(c)

using 5200W dryer for 40 min(0.6666 hours)

E = 5200*0.666

E = 3466.66 W = 3.4666 kW

cost = 3.4666*0.12

cost = $0.416
