Solution
Kilowatt- hour (kWh) is the commercial unit of measurement of energy. It is also known as unit.
So, total units consumed are 650.
We can establish a relation between kilowatt-hour (kWh) and Joule (J) as –
1 kilowatt-hour = 3.6 ×106 J
So,
650 kilowatt-hour
= 650 × 3.6 × 106 J
= `2.34 xx 10^9` J

Derive the relation between commercial unit of energy (kWh) and SI unit of energy (joule).
The commercial unit of energy is :
- Take two aluminium channels of different lengths.
- Place the lower ends of the channels on the floor and hold their upper ends at the same height.
- Now take two balls of the same size and weight and release them from the top end of the channels. They will roll down and cover the same distance.
- At the moment of releasing the balls, which energy do the balls have?
- As the balls roll down which energy is converted into which other form of energy?
- Why do the balls cover the same distance on rolling down?
Note: The question is wrong. It should be "Why do the balls cover the same distance after rolling down"? - What is the form of the eventual total energy of the balls?
- Which law related to energy does the above activity demonstrate? Explain.
