2. The lighting needs of a classroom are met by 30 fluorescent lamps, each consuming 80 W of
electricity. The lights in the classroom are kept on for 12 hours a day and 250 days a year. For a unit
electricity cost of $11 cents per kWh, determine annual energy cost of lighting for this classroom.
A 100 W lightbulb is brighter than a 60 W lightbulb when both operate at the same voltage of 120 V. If, instead, they were both operated at the same current of 0.5 A, which would be brighter? Explain.
