C7 20.) If a CD player uses electricity at a rate of 14 W, how much energy does it use during an 9 hour day? _____________________ Wh
it the minimum average power?
13. An energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb operating at power Pı = 28 W can produce the
same level of brightness as a conventional incandescent lightbulb operating at power P,
100 W. Lifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is T = 10000 h, and its purchase price is
B1 = $4.50. Lifetime of the conventional bulb is T2 = 750 h, and its purchase price is
B2 = $0.42. Suppose electrical energy costs R = $0.20/kWh, i.e. 20 cents per kilowatt-
hour. a) Calculate the total cost of using energy-efficient bulbs over 10,000 hours. b)
Calculate the total cost of using conventional bulbs over 10,000 hours. Note that you
must include both the cost of purchasing the bulbs and the cost of energy.
LED bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are
traditional incandescent bulbs. They initially cost much more, but last
far longer and use much less electricity An LED bulb that produces as
much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 12.5 W of power.
The LED bulb lasts 15,000 hours, on the average, and costs £8.00,
whereas the cost of an incandescent bulb was only £0.75, but it lasted
just 750 hourS. Assume that electricity costs £0 122 per kilowatt-hour
and that the bulbs are on for 4.0 h per day.

They initially cost much more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on average, and costs $12.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $0.73, but lasts just 750 hours.
