Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.20 kW toaster oven, W toaster , which is used for 6.00 minutes , and then calculate the amount of energy that an 11.0 W compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, W light , uses when left on for 11.00 hours .

Respuesta :

Answer:

The energy consumption by toaster oven is 432 kJ and that of fluorescent light (CFL) bulb is 435 kJ.

Explanation:

Power of toaster oven, P = 1.2 kW

Time, t = 6 minutes = 360 s

The energy used by toaster oven is given by :

[tex]E=P\times t\\\\E=1.2\times 10^3\times 360\\\\E=432000\ J\\\\E=432\ kJ[/tex]

Power of fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, P' = 11 W

Time, t' = 11 h = 39600 s

Energy used by fluorescent light (CFL) bulb is given by :

[tex]E'=P'\times t'\\\\E'=11\times 39600\\\\E'=435600\ J\\\\E'=435\ kJ[/tex]

So, the energy consumption by toaster oven is 432 kJ and that of fluorescent light (CFL) bulb is 435 kJ.
