D Correct answer
Explanation

The biggest commercial unit of energy is kilowatt hour $\left(kwh\right)$. It is also known as kilo-volt-ampere hour $\left(kVAh\right)$ and board of trade unit (BOT) or simply electric unit.

Multiple choice physics work and energy commercial unit of energy power work and power

A lamp rated 20w and an electric iron rated 50w are used for 2 hour everyday. Calculate the total energy consumed in 20 days.

  1. 14kwh

  2. 2.8kwh

  3. 40kwh

  4. All

B Correct answer
Explanation

Energy consumed by lamp in 2 hour     $E _l = 0.02\times 2 = 0.04$ kWh per day

Energy consumed by iron in 2 hour     $E _i = 0.05\times 2 = 0.1$ kWh per day
$\therefore$ Total energy consumed by both appliance     $E _T = (E _l+E _i)\times 20 = (0.04+0.1)\times 20 = 2.8$ kWh

One kilowatt hour is equal to

  1. $\displaystyle 36\times { 10 }^{ 5 }$ joules
  2. $\displaystyle 36\times { 10 }^{ 3 }$ joules
  3. $\displaystyle { 10 }^{ 3 }$ joules
  4. $\displaystyle { 10 }^{ 5 }$ joules

A Correct answer
Explanation

$1$ kW  $ = 1000$ $\dfrac{J}{s}$            

$1$ h $ = 3600$ s
$\therefore$  $1$ kWh $ = 1000\dfrac{J}{s}\times 3600$ $s  =36\times 10^5$  $J$

Number of KWh in 1Joule.

  1. $\displaystyle 3.6\times { 10 }^{ 6 }KWh$
  2. $\displaystyle 2.77\times { 10 }^{ -7 }KWh$
  3. $\displaystyle 600KWh$
  4. $\displaystyle 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }KWh$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know  $1$ kWh $ = 3.6\times 10^6$ $J$

$\therefore$  $1$ $J = \dfrac{1}{3.6\times 10^6} = 2.77\times 10^{-7}$ kWh

Calculate the number of Joules in 1KWh.

  1. $\displaystyle 6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J$
  2. $\displaystyle 3.6\times { 10 }^{ 6 }J$
  3. $\displaystyle 60J$
  4. $\displaystyle 59J$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$1$ kW $ = 1000$ $\dfrac{J}{s}$

$1$ h $=3600$ s 
$\therefore$  $1$ kWh $ = 1000\dfrac{J}{s}\times 3600$ $s  =3.6\times 10^6$  $J$
