There are two things missing in this question. The period of time the 1000 watts is being used and the price that you are paying for a kWh. If the 1000 watts was left on for an hour it would be 1 kWh. The cost per kWh is still needed, so it can be multiplied the the 1 kWh, to find a cost.
Electricity is usually charged by the Killowatt Hour. 500 watt bulb is .5 KW.
Look on your electric bill for the charge per KWh and multiplu by .5
An average cost in 12 cents per KWh so the cost is about 6 cents per hour.
To calculate an answer, a time interval must be given. The utility company bills the customer in kW/h of use. Use a time interval and multiply it by the 5 watts. Divide the answer by 1000 to give you kilowatts. Multiply that answer by the cost of electricity in your area. This can be found on your utility bill or you can phone the utility company to see what you are charged. It will be stated as so may cents per kilowatt hours. I pay .089 cents per kilowatt hour as an example.
Check with your power company on the price per kilowatt. Multiply that price by 1 (1,000 watts is 1 kilowatt).
Watts are computed as amps times volts (AxV=Watts). Using that formula we know Watts and volts so w/v = amps. therefore 500/110=4.55 (rounded off) so they draw 4.55 amps roughly.

Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
How many lumens in an 8 watt LED bulb?
lumenicity (how much light something gives off) is not directly related to power. A 60 watt LED will give off more light than a 60 watt incandescent. You should check the manufacturers information. Light.com (first one to show up in my google search) specifies a 500 lumen 8 watt LED. the 52W incandescent "soft white" bulbs I have on many dimmers in my home put of 710 lumens as a comparison.
How much does a 500 kW electric motor cost?
very much :-)
How much does it cost to build a prison?

How much does it cost to run a geothermal power plant?
it costs about €500
How many bulb of 100 watt by 500 milliwatt input?
200
Would you use less electrical energy burning a 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds or a 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds?
It would use less electrical energy to burn the 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds. This is because the total energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the power (in watts) by the time (in seconds), so for the 60 watt bulb: 60 watts * 900 seconds = 54,000 watt-seconds, and for the 100 watt bulb: 100 watts * 500 seconds = 50,000 watt-seconds.
How many bulb of 100 watt glow by 500 milliwatt input?
200
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
How much does it cost to run a 1000 watt light bulb in 24 hours?
The cost to run a 1000 watt light bulb for 24 hours is dependent on your electricity rate. Assuming an average rate of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, it would cost $12 to run the light for 24 hours (1000 watts = 1 kilowatt).
How do you calculate the cost of operating a 500 watt devise?
W*cost*khw/1000
What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?
A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
How much energy is used by a streetlight per hour?
Yes, that's the question. A 1000 Watt light uses... 1000 Watts. A 500 Watt light uses, you guessed it... 500 watts. It depends on the size of the bulb. ACTUALLY... Watts are a measure of power, Joules are the measure of energy - you can simply convert watts/hour or watts/second to joules but to say that a 1000 Watt light bulb uses 1000 watts is a ridiculous thing to say =D watts are Wh-1 or Ws-1
How hot does a 300 watt light bulb get?
A 300 watt light bulb can reach temperatures around 350-500 degrees Fahrenheit when operating. This heat is generated as a byproduct of converting electrical energy into light and can pose a fire hazard if the bulb comes into contact with flammable materials. It is important to follow safety guidelines and avoid touching the bulb when it is in use.
How many lumens in a 40 watt hallogen?
That will vary on the manufacture and quality of the bulb. There is no set amount of lumens for a 40 watt halogen or any kind of bulb for that matter. To find out the lumen output you need to look at the box it came in as it should be stated. If you don't have the box it may be tricky to find out. You will have to see if you can find the manufacture somewhere on the bulb then google it and check the specs. It's probably safe to say its going to be around 500 lumens on average.
How many lumens are in a 34 watt bulb?
The amount of light (Lumens) delivered by a light bulb cannot be determined by it's wattage. Bulbs of any wattage by different manufacturers can have different output (lumens). Everything else being the same, a 34 watt 110volt bulb will put out about half the light than a 34 watt 220 volt bulb, and a 12 volt one will put out about 10% of the light as the 120 volt one will.
