Calculating Power, Energy & Cost
For the problems below, be sure to show ALL your work
including the formula and final units.
1.
A 6-volt battery produces a current of 0.5 amps. What is the
power
in the circuit?
2.
A 100-watt light bulb is operating on 1.2 amperes of current. What is the
voltage
?
3.
A potential difference of 120 volts is operating on a 500-watt microwave oven. What is the
current
being used?
4.
A light bulb uses 0.625 amperes from a source of 120 volts. How much
power
is used by the bulb?
5.
What
voltage
is necessary to run a 500-watt motor with a current of 200 amperes?
For each of the next 3 Problems (#6 – 9), calculate the amount of energy used in both kilowatt-
hours (kWh) and Joules (J).
6.
A 3000-watt water heater operating for 30 minutes.
7.
A 1000-watt iron left on for 3 hours.
8.
A 30-watt flashlight left on for 15 minutes.
9.
What is the advantage of using kWh over J as a unit of measurement?

10. A microwave oven operates on 5 amps of current on a 110-volt circuit for one hour. Calculate the
total
kilowatt-hours
used.
11. How much would it
cost
to run the microwave in Problem 10 if the cost of energy is $0.10 per
kWh?
12. A refrigerator operates on 15 amps of current on a 220-volt circuit for 18 hours per day. How many
kilowatt-hours
are used per day?
13. If the electricity costs are $0.15 per kWh, how much does it
cost
to run the refrigerator in Problem
12 per day?
14. The meter reading on June 1 was 84502 kWh. On July 1, the meter read 87498 kWh. If the cost of
electricity in the area was $0.12 per kWh, what was the
electric bill
for the month of June?
15. A room was lighted with three 100-watt bulbs for 5 hours per day. If the cost of electricity was
$0.09 per kWh, how much would be
saved
per day by switching to 60-watt bulbs?
