If each burner is rated at 1.2 kW and the oven at 1.8 kW, and electricity costs 1000(IQ =Iraqi Dinar) per k Wh, calculate the cost of electricity used in preparing the meal?
2) The energy consumed by a shower for 30 days is 22kwh. It is known that the resistance of
the showerhead is 20 ohms and that its nominal current is 15A. So, what is the time in minutes
that the shower was turned on during this period?
