Chapter 28, Problem 58P
A car-battery charger runs off the 120-V rms AC power line and supplies 10-A DC at 14 V. (a) If the charger is 80% efficient in converting the line power to the DC power it supplies to the battery, how much current does it draw from the AC line? (b) If electricity costs 9.5¢/kWh, how much does it cost to run the charger for 10 hours if the power factor is 1?
