How do i convert power?

Question

If i have a tv that consumes 175 watts and the price for electricity is .10883kwh and i watch tv two hours a day, how much money does it cost? i need help

Answer 1

Hi, I think you must have meant the price for electricity is $0.10883 per kWh or 0.10883 cents per kWh. If each day you watch 2 hours of TV, then each day the power consumed is
0.175kW x 2hr = 0.350kWh

so each day it would cost you
0.350kWh x 0.10883 / kWh = 0.0380905 (in whatever currency the price of electricity is in)

if you want to work it out for 30 days say,
0.0380905 x 30 = 1.142715 (in whatever currency the price of electricity is in)

Answer 2

Divide your TV power consumption by 1000 to convert watts to kilowatts. Then, multiply that result by the number of hours that the TV is on to get kwh. Multiply that answer by the cost of power to get the daily cost of operation.

Answer 3

175watts * 2 hours = 350 watt-hours

for a month, say 30 days

350 watt-hours*30 = 10,500 watt-hours or 10.5 KWh

then multiply 10.5KWh * 0.10883/KWh

= 1142.715

Answer 4

(0.10883*2)*30 gives the bill for one month of usage of the TV
