If the power of an electric bulb is 40 W, how much electrical energy does it consume in 2 minutes?

  1. A.80 J
  2. B.2400 J
  3. C.4800 JCorrect answer
  4. D.8000 J

Solution

Power P=EtP = \frac{E}{t}, so Energy E=P×tE = P \times t. Here, P=40 WP = 40\text{ W} and time t=2 minutes=2×60=120 secondst = 2\text{ minutes} = 2 \times 60 = 120\text{ seconds}. Therefore, E=40×120=4800 JoulesE = 40 \times 120 = 4800\text{ Joules}.
