Sagot :

Answer:

P = 150 W * 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr =  540000 W-sec/hr

1 kW = 1000 W * 3600 sec = 3.6E6 W-sec

E (8 hrs) = 8 * .54E6 W-s = 4.32E6 W-sec

or E= 4.32/3.6 = 1.2 kW = .168 $/day

20/150 = .133 as much for a 20-watt bulb

For a LED bulb cost/day = .168 * .133 = $.022/da

Note 1 W = 1 Joule/sec
