Electric energy usage on your electric bill is measured in?
Kilowatt hours.
How do you compute electrical consumption of a device?
A simple electrical device is a 60 watt light bulb. The bulb is consuming 60 watts of electricity from the moment you turn it on. If you keep that light bulb on for 10 hours the power used is 60 watts x 10 hours = 600 watts of power. Electricity is sold in Kilowatt Hours. A Kilowatt is 1000 watts of power. Depending on the state you live in, it sells for 7 to 18 cents per Kilowatt Hour. So if you leave that light bulb on 10 hours per day for 30 days you will have used up 600 watts x 30 days = 18,000 watts of electricity = 18 Kilowatt Hours. At an average cost of 10 cents per Kilowatt Hour that bulb costs you $1.80 per month to leave on. The formula is watts x time x cost per Kilowatt Hour = cost of use...Answer provided by Gene Evangelist
What unit is household electricity measured in?
watts or kilowatts are used to measure power, which is how quickly energy flows, and electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also known as a Unit of electrical energy, and it is the amount of energy used when a power of 1 kilowatt flows for 1 hour.
How many kilowatt hours - KWh - are used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour?
A kilowatt is 1,000 Watts. 30 Watts is equal to 0.03 kilowatts. A kWh or kilowatt-hour is the rate of electrical usage. It is a measure of kilowatts used per period of time (1 hour). 1 kWh is 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 1 hour. So, multiply your 30 watts (0.03 kilowatts) by 1 hour to get kWh. =0.03 kWh In about 33 hours and 20 minutes, this lamp would use 1 kWh.
How can a power rating be used to calculate electricity used?
The amount of energy used can be calculated by multiplying power x time: energy = power x time Since you normally pay the electricity used by the kilowatt-hour, it makes sense to convert the power rating to kilowatts. If it is specified in watts, divide that by 1000 to convert to kilowatts. Then multiply by the number of hours of use. For example: for a device that uses 100 watts, and which you turn on for 5 hours, your calculation would be: 0.1 kilowatt x 5 hours = 0.5 kilowatt-hours On some devices, watts are not specified. In that case, multiplying volts x amperes is usually close to the number of watts used.
How many watt-hours are in 6 kilowatt-hours?
1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts 6 kilowatts = 6,000 watts 6 kilowatt-hours = 6,000 watt-hours
Electric energy usage on your electric bill is measured in?
Kilowatt hours.
Find the kilowatt hours used if 300 watts are used for 8 hours?
300 watts 0.3 kilowatts; 0.3kilowatts X 8 hours 2.4 kilowatt-hours
What is the difference between using 100 watts for 2 hours or 50 watts for 4 hours?
In theory, no difference.
Is watts usage measured in hours?
Power consumption is measured in kilowatt hours.
What is the difference between kilowatt hours and kilowats?
Kilowatts are a measure of electrical power. Kilowatt hours are a measure of how much electrical power has been used.
8 watts for 30 minutes is how many kilowatt hours?
30 minutes is 0.5 hours. 1 kilowatt = 1000 watts, so divide both sides by 1000 and you get .001 kilowatts = 1 watt So 8 watts x 30 minutes = .008 kilowatts x 0.5 hours = .004 kilowatt hours.
If a 100 watts bulb is on for 10 hours then what will be the amount of consumed electricity?
100 watts × 10 hours = 1000 watt hours = 1 kilowatt hour (= 1 kwh) = 1 unit of electricity.
77000 watts for 30 days is how many kilowatt hours?
Convert the watts to kilowatts, and the days to hours. Then multiply kilowatts x hours to get kWh.
How many kilowatt-hours does a oven use per hour?
Watts does not have a time component to it; so you should have asked, "How many kilowatt-hours does an oven use per hour?' For example, if the oven uses 1600 watts, then in one hour, it would use 1600 watt-hours, or 1.6 kilowatt-hours.
How many kilowatt-hours do 50 w used for 12h equal?
A Kilowatt hour is 1000 watts per hour. A 50 watt bulb will use just 50 watts per hour. Therefore over 12 hours the 50 watt bulb will use 50*12 watts = 600 watts or 0.6 of a kilowatt hour.
Convert 250watt sound output in kilowatthour?
Think of the names. Watt. Kilowatt hour.A kilowatt is 1000 watts. Multiply 250 watts by (1 kilowatt/1000 watts) , so you have 0.25 kilowatts. Multiply this by how many hours the sound is being produced.
