#8
If a device consumes 500 watts of power and operates for 3 hours, how much energy does it consume?
1500 watt-hours
ExplanationEnergy consumption is the product of power and time, so 500 watts multiplied by 3 hours equals 1500 watt-hours.
#9
If the electricity rate is $0.15 per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost to operate a device that consumes 1000 watts for 5 hours?
$0.75
ExplanationThe cost is calculated by multiplying the energy consumption (in kilowatt-hours) by the electricity rate.
#10
If a device consumes 2 kilowatt-hours of energy per day, how much energy does it consume in a month with 30 days?
60 kilowatt-hours
ExplanationDaily energy consumption multiplied by the number of days gives the monthly energy consumption.
#11
Which of the following statements is true about power consumption?
Power is the rate at which energy is consumed
ExplanationPower is the measure of how quickly energy is consumed, indicating the rate of energy usage.
#12
If a device operates at 120 volts and draws 2 amps, what is its power consumption in watts?
2400 watts
ExplanationPower is calculated using the formula: Power = Voltage × Current. So, 120 volts multiplied by 2 amps equals 2400 watts.
#13
How much does it cost to operate a 1000-watt device for 8 hours if the electricity rate is $0.10 per kilowatt-hour?
$0.80
ExplanationCost is calculated by multiplying energy consumption (in kilowatt-hours) by the electricity rate.
#14
A microwave oven consumes 1200 watts of power. How many kilowatt-hours of energy does it consume if it operates for 30 minutes?
0.6 kWh
ExplanationEnergy consumption is calculated by converting time to hours and using the formula: Energy = Power × Time.
#15
A water heater operates at 240 volts and draws a current of 10 amps. What is its power consumption?
2.4 kilowatts
ExplanationPower is calculated using the formula: Power = Voltage × Current. So, 240 volts multiplied by 10 amps equals 2.4 kilowatts.
#16
A device with a power rating of 500 watts operates for 2 hours. How much energy does it consume in watt-hours?
1000 watt-hours
ExplanationEnergy consumption is the product of power and time; 500 watts multiplied by 2 hours equals 1000 watt-hours.
#17
If a refrigerator consumes 1.5 kilowatt-hours of energy per day, how much energy does it consume in a year (365 days)?
547.5 kilowatt-hours
ExplanationDaily energy consumption multiplied by the number of days gives the annual energy consumption.
#18
A light bulb rated at 60 watts is operated for 5 hours per day. How much energy does it consume in a month with 30 days?
3 kWh
ExplanationEnergy consumption is calculated by multiplying power and time; 60 watts multiplied by 5 hours per day and then by 30 days equals 3 kilowatt-hours.
#19
If the electricity rate is $0.20 per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost to operate a 750-watt device for 6 hours?
$0.45
ExplanationThe cost is calculated by multiplying the energy consumption (in kilowatt-hours) by the electricity rate.
