An air conditioner, 6400 watts, is used only 4 months out of a year. On a typical day it is used only 5.0 hours. If the cost of electricity is 12 cents per kwh. How much does it cost to run this air conditioner for the 4 months (assume 30 days per month).
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
We first convert the wattage to kilowatts and then use hours operated everyday to find the number of kWh needed to operate.
Then we use the data for cost per kWh and find the total cost for the total time period asked.
