प्रश्न
A 100-watt electric bulb is used for 5 hours daily and four 60 watt bulbs are used for 5 hours daily. Calculate the energy consumed (in kWh) in the month of January.

उत्तर
Energy used by 100 W bulb is E = P × t
= 100 × 5 = 500 Wh
Energy used by four 60 W bulbs E = 4 × 60 × 5 = 1200 Wh
Total energy per day = 500 + 1200 = 1700 Wh
= 1.7 kWh
Number of days in January = 31 days.
Energy consumed in January = 31 × 1.7 = 52.7 kWh.
