An electric bulb of 100 W is used for 8 hours per day. Calculate the units of energy consumed in one day by the bulb.

Answer :

Final answer:

The energy consumed by a 100W electric bulb used for 8 hours in one day is 0.8 kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is determined by multiplying the power of the bulb (in kilowatts) by the length of time it is used (in hours).

Explanation:

The energy consumed by an electrical appliance can be calculated using the formula Energy = Power x Time. Energy is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), Power in watts (W), and time in hours (h).

In this case, the power of the LED bulb is 100W and it is in use for 8 hours a day. To convert the power to kilowatts we divide by 1000. Therefore, the power in kilowatts is 0.1 kW.

Now we multiply this by the number of hours the bulb is used; 0.1 kW * 8 hr = 0.8 kWh. Hence, the electric bulb of 100W that is being used for 8 hours a day consumes 0.8 units (kWh) of energy in one day.
