A 200 W incandescent outdoor lamp is connected to a 150 V source and is left burning continuously for an average of 12 hours per day. Determine:
A) the current through the lamp when it is lit
B) the cost of operating the lamp for one non-leap year if electricity costs 9.5 cents per kWh.
A 60 MW steam power station has a thermal efficiency of 30%. If the coal burnt has acalorific value of 6950 kcal/kg, calculate:the coal consumption per day
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.
