Question

If electrical energy costs $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, how much do the following events cost?

(a) To burn a 120-W lightbulb for 24 h. $

(b) To operate an electric oven for 6.6 h if it carries a current of 20.0 A at 220 V. $

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given 

For part a

Rate of electrical energy is R=$0.12/ kWh

Power of the lightbulb is Pb=120 W

Time of operation of the lightbulb is t=24 h

 

For part b

Current through the electric oven is i=20.0 A

Voltage of the electric oven is V=220 V

Time of operation of the electric oven is t=6.6 h
