Answer:
Explanation:
Power is related to energy by the following relationship:
where
P is the power used
E is the energy used
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, we know that
- the power of the fan is P = 120 W
- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of
So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:
