  1. The current in this motor is equal to 17.27 Ampere.
  2. The energy delivered to this motor in 3.00 hours is equal to 22.38 Megajoules.
  3. At $0.110/kWh, the cost to run the motor for 3.00 hours is equal to $0.684.

How to determine the current (in A) delivered to the motor?

Assuming this electric motor is a single-phase motor and it operates by using DC current, its mechanical power output would be given by:

W = ηIV

Making current (I) the subject of formula, we have:

I = ηV/W

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

I = (2.50 × 0.746 × 1000)/(0.9 × 120)

I = 1,865/108

Current, I = 17.27 Ampere.

For the energy delivered to this motor, we have:

First of all, we would determine the power delivered to this motor as follows:

Power, P = IV

Power, P = 17.27 × 120

Power, P = 2,072.4 Watt.

Therefore, the energy delivered to this motor in 3.00 hours is given by:

Energy = power × time

Energy = 2,072.4 × 3.00 × 3,600 × 1/1000000

Energy = 22.38 Megajoules.

How to determine the cost?

At $0.110/kWh, the cost to run the motor for 3.00 hours is given by:

Cost = 0.110 × 22.38 × 0.278

Cost = $0.684.
