Question

A 100-watt lightbulb uses 1 kilowatt-hour of electrical

energy when it is on for ten hours. How much energy does
a 25-watt lightbulb use when it is on for ten hours?

Answer 1

Energy = 0.25 kilowatt-hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 25 Watts

Time = 10 hours

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

`Power = \frac {Energy}{time}`

To find the energy consumed;

Energy = power * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Energy = 25 * 10

Energy = 250 Watt-hour

To convert to kilowatt-hour, we would divide by 1000;

Energy = 250/1000

Energy = 0.25 kilowatt-hour
