calculate:An elcetric lamp is rated 240V and 40W. What is the cost of running the lamp for 62 hours if the elctricity authorities charges #2.50k per KWH

Total cost = #6.2

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 240 V

Power = 40 W

Time = 62 hours

Cost = #2.50

To find the cost of running the lamp for 62 hours;

First of all, we would determine the energy consumption of the electric lamp

Energy consumption = power * time

Energy consumption = 40 * 62

Energy consumption = 2480 Watt-hour = 2.48 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).

Next, we would determine the cost of running the lamp;

Total cost = energy consumption * cost

Total cost = 2.48 * 2.50

Total cost = #6.2
