Suppose that the cost of electrical energy is $0.12 per kilowatt hour and that your electrical bill for 30 days is $60. Assume that the power delivered is constant over the entire 30 days. What is the power in watts? If this power is supplied by a voltage of 120 V, what current flows? Part of your electrical load is a 60 W light that is on continuously. By what percentage can your energy consumption be reduced by turning this light off?
