A lamp rated 100W, 240V is lit for 5hours. Calculate the cost of lighting the lamp if 1kWh of electrical energy cost N5.
A
N2.50
B
N3.20
C
N6.50
D
N9.60
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Power = 100W; Voltage = 240V; Time = 5 hours
Total energy used = Power x time = 100 x 5 = 500wh
converting to kwh, we have
\(\frac{500}{1000} = 0.5kWh \times N5 = N2.50\)
