The cost of electricity varies widely throughout the United States; $0.120/kWh is a typical value. At this unit price, calculate the cost of the following.
(a) Leaving a 40.0-W porch light on for 2 weeks while you are on vacation.(b) Making a piece of dark toast in 3.00 min with a 990-W toaster. (c) Drying a load of clothes in 40.0 min in a 4,900 W dryer.
The cost to operate a clothes dryer for a year is $80.25. If the rate for electrical energy is 8.8¢/kWh, and the clothesdryer is used for 700 hours in a year, what is the power rating of the clothes dryer? Explain clearly.
A monthly electric bill is based on the following usage:
A set of electronic devices that altogether are rated at 1,812
W. The devices are ON 12 hours a day.
A set of light of total power 562 W that are on 24 hours a day.
What would be the value of the bill if we count one month as 30
days and electricity costs $0.08 /kWh.
Write down your answer as an amount of dollars rounded off to an
integer value ( no decimals) and do not put any unit.
