Pick a small appliance in your home that you use regularly and look up on the internet how much power it operates at. Using the household voltage of 120 V, calculate the current flowing in this device. How much resistance would a resistor operating at that power and voltage have? If electricity costs $0.12/kWh, estimate how much you spend each month using this appliance. When you make your video, be sure to show the appliance you are talking about.

Answer:

Estimate money spent on the appliance( 9 Watt bulb ) on a monthly basis is $0.7776

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we are to pick  a small appliance in our home that we use regularly and look up on the internet how much power it operates at;

so lets consider a 9 Watt bulb

Power p = 9 Watt

Household Voltage = 120 v

we know that; Power = Current I × Voltage V

so,

9 = I × 120

I = 9 / 120

I = 0.075 A

Resistance;

R = V / I

R = 120 / 0.075

R = 1600 Ω

Now, Energy consumed in 1 month(30 days) will be;

E = P × Τ

E = ( 9 / 1000kW ) × ( 30 × 24hrs )

E = 0.009 × 720 hrs

E = 6.48 kWh

Now, the cost for one month will be;

Cost = 6.48 × $0.12

Cost = $0.7776

Therefore, estimate money spent on the appliance( 9 Watt bulb ) on a monthly basis is $0.7776
