Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.00 kW toaster oven, Wtoaster, which is used for 5.80 minutes, and then calculate the amount of energy that an 11.0 W compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, Wight, uses when left on for 10.50 hours.

Compact fluorescent tubes cost $15 each and have an estimated life span of 8,000 hours. These tubes consume 20 W of power, but produce illumination equivalent to that of 75 W incandescent bulbs. These cost $3.75 each and have an estimated life span of 1,200 hours. If a home has, on average, six 75W incandescent bulbs on constantly and energy costs $0.2875 per kilowatt-hour, how much money will a consumer save each year by installing fluorescent tubes instead?

A 1⁄2 hp motor draws a current of 4.0 A from a 120-V line. (a) Calculate the electric power used by the motor. (b) Calculate the motor’s efficiency – that is, the work it does per unit time divided by the electrical power it uses.
A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigeratorthat runs with a current of 3.00 A at a voltage of 110 V, a lamp that contains a 100-W bulb,an overhead light with a 60-W bulb, and various other small devices adding up to 3.00 W. a. Assuming the power plant that supplies 110 V electricity to the dorm is 10 km awayand the two aluminum transmission cables use 0-gauge wire with a diameter of8.252 mm, estimate the percentage of the total power supplied by the powercompany that is lost in the transmission if the power is transmitted at 110 V. Hint:treat the transmission cables as cylinders and calculate the cable’s resistance fromits length, diameter, and resistivity. b. What would be the result if the power company transmitted the electric power at110 kV?
