An electric heater having power rated 1000W connected to a 240V supply for
10minutes.
a) calculate the conductance of the heater element.b) Find the nett charge flowing in the heater element.c) Calculate the no. of free electron that represent for that amount charge obtained.
Compute for the time it takes for an electric stove to consume 60 kJ for a 220-V line drawing 30 A of current.
Suppose the cost of an incandescent bulb is 28 cents and that electricity costs 10.5 cents/kWh. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), while they are more expensive, use 1/10 of the power for the same amount of illumination.
What would be the maximum cost (in dollars) of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60 W bulbs? Assume both lightbulbs run for 1000 h.
