5 The cost of using electricity You should be able to calculate the cost of using an electrical appliance when given enough information about it. The unit The amount of electrical energy transferred to an appliance depends on its power and the length of time it is switched on. The amount of mains electrical energy transferred is measured in kilowatthours, kwh. One unit is 1kWh. The equation below shows the relationship between energy transferred, power and time: energy transferred (kwh) = power (kw) time (h) Note that power is measured in kilowatts here instead of the more usual watts. To convert from W to kw you must divide by For example, 2000W = = 2kW. Also note that time is measured in hours here, instead of the more usual seconds. To convert from seconds to hours you must divide by For example, 1800s = = 0.5 hours. The cost Electricity meters measure the number of units of electricity used in a home or other building. The more units used, the greater the cost. The cost of the electricity used is calculated using this equation: total cost = number of units cost per unit For example, if 5 units of electricity are used at a cost of 8p per unit, the total cost will be 5 8 = 40p Remember that the number of units used can be calculated using this equation: units (kwh) = power (kw) time (h) so total cost = power (kw) time (h) cost per unit Electrical Power. 4

9 Power to the kitchen worksheet Aims In this worksheet you will show your knowledge of the units of energy and power and also practise using energy terms. Questions Before you start, check these for yourself. Do you know: the definition of power? Yes / No / Not sure a unit of power? Yes / No / Not sure a unit of energy? Yes / No / Not sure what the prefix kilo (k) stands for? Yes / No / Not sure You should look up any term that you do not know in your Student Book before you start. Look at the pictures of four devices found in a kitchen. Toaster Microwave oven Electric kettle Electric cooker 1200 W, 5.0 A Do not insert metal objects. 1.1 kw, 240 V Use correct containers inside. Capacity 1.8 litres, 2.0 kw. Do not operate without water inside. 10 kw, 240 V, 50 Hz Installation only by a qualified electrician. a What is the power of the electric cooker?... b Which device has the largest power?... c Which device transfers the lowest number of joules in one second? How many joules of energy does the kettle transfer in one second?.... d When switched on for the same length of time, which device transfers just a little more energy than the microwave oven? 8

10 Describing energy transfers When someone lifts up the kettle, chemical energy in their muscles is transferred to gravitational potential energy in the kettle and water. In the description of this energy transfer, the type of energy is described as well as the object that has the energy. Now it is your turn. 2.In these examples, use some of the terms from the following list: Energy that heats things up, electrical energy, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, chemical energy, sound a.the electric cooker in the picture in question 1 contains a fan to help the food cook more quickly. Describe the energy transfers that occur in the cooker. b.someone drops toast on to the floor. Describe the energy transfers as the toast falls and hits the ground. c.write down something else that happens in a kitchen and describe the energy transfer. 3.Draw two lines from each box on the left to link the quantity on the left with two correct units on the right. energy W J power kw h J/s 9

11 Read-a-meter worksheet Aims In this worksheet you will practise using the equations in the box and work out the cost of using some electrical appliances. Energy transferred = power time (J) = (W) (s) (kwh) = (kilowatt, kw) (hours) Questions To check the cost of using electricity in his house, a student reads the mini electricity meter on his fridge on June 1st and on August 24th. The diagram shows what the student sees on the two dates kwh June 1 st kwh August 24 th The student notices that the unit of energy used on the meter is the kw h. His electricity company charges 14 p for 1 kw h. How many kw h of energy are used between the two dates? How much does the electricity cost the student between these two dates? A lamp is marked as having a power of 100 W. On average the lamp is used for 6 hours every day. i What is the power of the lamp in kw?... How many kw h of electrical energy would be used in one day?.. How many kw h of electrical energy would be used in 30 days?.. Look at the pictures of some devices found in a kitchen. Toaster Microwave oven Electric kettle Electric cooker Power 1.1 kw Power 2.0 kw Power 1200 W Power 10 kw 10

12 a Fill in the table to show how much energy is used by the toaster in the time given. Give your answers in joules (J). time / s energy used / J Fill in the table to show how much energy is used by the appliance and the cost (to the nearest pence). Time is measured in hours (h) and the answer is in kilowatt-hours. 1kW h costs 14p. appliance time / h energy used / kw h cost / p toaster 1 toaster 5 microwave 0.1 cooker 2 kettle 0.4 Why do you think the cooker is the most expensive appliance in this particular kitchen? A student reads that The cost of electricity has increased in the last few years. For some electricity providers the price has risen from 14p to 20p. This means the cost of a cup of tea has increased from 140p to 160p. The student decides to check the stated increased cost. She finds that boiling the water in a kettle for a cup of tea takes about 2 minutes. i Convert 2 minutes into hours. How many kw h of electrical energy are used by the kettle? The cost of 1 kw h is 14p. What is the cost of using the kettle for 2 minutes? 11

13 Do you think the stated increased cost is reasonable? Explain your answer... The best rates worksheet Aims In this worksheet you will practise making calculations of electrical energy usage and the costs involved. You may find the equation and units in the box useful. Remember that 1 kilowatt-hour (kw h) is the energy needed to run a 1 kw appliance for 1 hour. Energy = Power time (J) = (W) (seconds) (kw h) = (kilowatt, kw) (hours) Questions 1 Choosing the best supplier Different energy suppliers charge different amounts for electrical energy. The table shows two different rates from one supplier. The rates shown have been rounded to the nearest pence. In the standard rate the first 900 kw h used per year is charged at the higher rate. All electrical energy above 900 kw h in one year is then charged at the lower rate. The online saver rate has the same rate for all electrical consumption. Cost of first 900 kw h Cost of all other kw h Standard rate 19p/kW h 8p/kW h Online saver rate 10p/kW h 10p/kW h The average use of electrical energy in a house in one year is 3000 kw h. There are 365 days in one year. a Calculate the cost of using 3000 kw h in one year using the online saver rate... 10p = b Calculate the cost of using 3000 kw h in one year using the standard rate. ( 19p) + (. 8p) =.. 12

14 c Use the table to help you answer the following questions. i Suggest why paying for electricity is cheaper when using the online saver rate for customers who use less than the average amount of electrical energy in one year ii Suggest why paying for electricity is cheaper when using the standard rate for customers who use a large amount of electrical energy in one year An electric kettle has an electrical power input of 2000 W (2 kw). It is used for 6 minutes. There are 60 seconds in one minute. 6 minutes is 0.1 hours. d Calculate the electrical energy supplied to the kettle in J. watts seconds = J e Calculate the electrical energy supplied to the kettle in kw h. kw hours = kw h f Using your answers to part a and b show how to convert from J to kw h g 1 kw h costs 10p. Use your answer to part b to calculate the cost of using the kettle for 6 minutes...kw h.pence per kw h =..p 3 To keep medicines cool in an isolated hospital in a hot country, solar cells are used to provide power to run the refrigerator. During the day they also provide energy to charge batteries for nighttime use, so for any calculations consider the amount of energy produced by a solar cell to be over a complete day. The table provides information about a single solar cell and a refrigerator, as used in the country. Single solar cell Maximum output power in bright light is 4.0 W (0.004 kw), for an average of 5 hours per day. Refrigerator Input power required 120 W. The refrigerator needs this power for only 25% of the time. 13

15 h Suggest two reasons why it is a less sensible idea to power a refrigerator in the UK using solar cells i How much energy in kw h is available when one solar cell is producing its maximum power output for a day? kw hours = kw h j Calculate the number of kw h of energy used by the refrigerator when switched on for a complete day. Remember that 120 W is 0.12 kw and the refrigerator needs power for only 25% of the time k Using your answers to part b and c, calculate the minimum number of single solar cells needed to run the refrigerator Electrical energy Worksheet 1 The pictures show six different household appliances.
