Term
| Describe the process of finding how much it costs to operate an appliance |
|
Definition
-Found out how many watts an appliance needs to operate
multiply that number by the number of hours the appliance is used per month
convert that to kilowatt hrs (move the decimal 3 places to the right)
multiply that by the cost of a kilowatt hour assessed by the electric distributor in your area. (In Missouri, the rate is 8.32 cents/KWH
Ex. a 60 watt bulb was left on for 40 hours over a 1 month period
60x40=2400 watts or 2.4 kwh
Missouri's electrical rate 8.32 cents
2.4 x .0832= .20 |
