प्रश्न
Calculate the cost of operating a heater of 500 W for 20 hours at the rate of Rs 3.90 per unit.
उत्तर
Power rating of the heater, P = 500 W
Duration of the operation, t = 20 hours
Electrical energy consumed = P x t
= 500 W x 20 hours
= 10000 W = 10 kW
Rate for 1 kW = Rs. 3.90
Total cost of operating = units consumed x rate = 10 x Rs. 3.90 = Rs. 39
