A lamp has a power of 120 W and is left on for 24 hours . A television has a power of 350 W and is left on for three hours . compares the energy used by these devices

Respuesta :

This is a power problem which requires the rearranging of a formula. The lamps energy used is 5 N, and the TV’s usage is 116.7 N (rounded from 116.6666repeating). Here my work:

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Power of lamp, PL = 120 W, t = 24 hours

Power of TV, PT = 350 W, t = 3 hours

Energy consumed by a lamp, EL = Power x time = 120 x 24 = 2880 W h

Energy consumed by a TV, ET = power x time = 350 x 3 = 1050 W h

EL / ET = 2880 / 1050 = 2.74
