Which uses more energy, a 250\ W TV set in 1\ hr, or a 1200\ W toaster in 10\ minutes?
The formula for energy consumption is
Energy consumed by a TV for an hour:
P = 250\ W
Time, t = 1\ hour
On converting hour to seconds, we get t = s
[Note: Enter the answer as a whole number.]
The energy consumed by a TV for an hour is .
Energy consumed by toaster in 10\ minutes:
P = 1200\ W
Time, t = 10\ minutes
On converting minutes to seconds, we get t = s
[Note: Enter the answer up to one decimal place.]
The energy consumed by a toaster for 10\ minutes is .
Thus, theenergy consumed by the TV is the toaster.
