A 9 W led lightbulb emits the same light as a 60 W standard lightbulb. If a power company charges 10 cents per kW.h, then how much money do you save by using the led lightbulb instead of the standard lightbulb for 30 days?
An 11.6 W energy efficient fluorescent light bulb is designed to produce the same illumination as a 42.8 W incandescent light bulb. How much energy does the fluorescent bulb use if it is turned on for 10 hours? Answer in units of Joules. Answer to the one's place.
The 20-W LED bulb can provide the same amount of light output as the 100-W incandescent light bulb. How much percentage you could save for using the LED bulb in place of the incandescent bulb for one year, assuming ₱7.50 per kilowatt-hour is the average energy rate charged by the power company? Assume that the bulb is turned on for 7 hours a day. a.) 20% b.) 80% c.) 150% d.) none of the above
Compact fluorescent bulbs aremuch more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescentbulbs. They initially cost much more, but they last far longer and usemuch less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compactbulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb usesonly 23 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10,000 hours, on the average,and costs $11.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $0.75,but lasts just 750 hours. The study assumed that electricity costs $0.080per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs are on for 4.0 h per day. How much do you save over 3.0 years if you use a compact fluorescent bulb instead of an incandescent bulb?

The study assumed that electricity costs $0.080per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs are on for 4.0 h per day. What is the resistance of a “100 W” fluorescent bulb? (Remember, it actually uses only 23 W of power and operates across 120 V.)

An 11.0-W energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb is designed to produce the same illumination as a conventional 40.0-W incandescent lightbulb. Assuming a cost of $0.116/kWh for energy from the electric company, how much money does the user of the energy-efficient bulb save during 200 h of use? (Give your answer to the nearest cent.)
A 60-W incandescent light bull costs $0.41. An equivalent 18-W compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb costs $1.10, and an equivalent 9-W light emitting diode (LED) bulb costs $2.00. If the electric company charges $0.1075 per kWh, how many hours would you need to run the CFL and LED light bulb to save money?
A 14 W energy efficient CFL lamp, is designed to produce the same illumination, as a conventional 60 W, light bulb. How much money does the user of the energy efficient lamp save in 1 month, if the lamp is used for 10 hours / day. The cost of electricity is 10 Bz/KWh.
