Elelctrical power
• Watts (power) = energy used (J)
•
time (s)
You should now be able to work out how much it
costs to run an electrical appliance as long as you
know its power rating, the time you use it for, and
the cost of electricity. Energy = power × time can be
used as long as power is in kW and time in hours.
The formula becomes:
Units used (kWh) = power (kW) × time (h)
e.g. A 2·5 kW kettle is used for 2 hours a week. Units
cost £0·08 each.
Units used = 2·5 kW × 2 h = 5 kWh
Total cost = units used × cost
= 5 kWh × £0·08
= £0·40.
Power = current x voltage
