Answer:
A. 72000 C
B. 1100 W
C. 26.4 cents.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Time (t) = 2 h
A. Determination of the charge.
We'll begin by converting 2 h to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:
1 h = 3600 s
Therefore,
2 h = 2 h × 3600 s / 1 h
2 h = 7200 s
Thus, 2 h is equivalent to 7200 s.
Finally, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:
Current (I) = 10 A
Time (t) = 7200 s
Charge (Q) =?
Q = It
Q = 10 × 7200
Q = 72000 C
B. Determination of the power.
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Power (P) =?
P = IV
P = 10 × 110
P = 1100 W
C. Determination of the cost of operation.
We'll begin by converting 1100 W to KW. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 W = 1 KW
Therefore,
1100 W = 1100 W × 1 KW / 1000 W
1100 W = 1.1 KW
Thus, 1100 W is equivalent to 1.1 KW
Next, we shall determine the energy consumption of the range. This can be obtained as follow:
Power (P) = 1.1 KW
Time (t) = 2 h
Energy (E) =?
E = Pt
E = 1.1 × 2
E = 2.2 KWh
Finally, we shall determine the cost of operation. This can be obtained as follow:
1 KWh cost 12 cents.
Therefore, 2.2 KWh will cost = 2.2 × 12
= 26.4 cents.
Thus, the cost of operating the range for 2 h is 26.4 cents.
