A waterbed heater uses 425W of power. It is on 35% of the time, off 65% . What is the annual cost of electricity at a billing rate of$0.13 per kWhr?
1 year=8765.81 hrs=24*365
Out of which only 35%,it is on
so on time=3068.03 hrs
Wattatge=0.425 kw
The kwH=0.425*3068.03=1303.914
Cost=1303.914*0.13=169.50 $
No. of hours in a year =8765.81
its 35% = 35/100*8765.81
= 3068.03 hr
425 W in an hour
therefore for one year it will use =3068.03 hr * 425 W
= 1303.914 KWhr
therfor total coast = $ 0.13 per KWhr * 1303.914 KWhr
= $ 169.508

In this problem, we consider replacing an existing electrical water heater with an array of solar panels. The net installed investment cost of the panels is $1,365 ($2,100 less a 35% tax credit from the government). Based on an energy audit, the existing water heater uses 180 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month, so at $0.13 per kWh, the cost of operating the water heater is $23.4 per month. Assuming the solar panels can save the entire cost of...

3. a) An electric water heater uses 5500 W (240 V) of electrical power. It has a capacity of 40 gallons (150 liters or 150 kg). If the initial temperature of the water in the water heater is 20° C, how long will it take to heat the water to a final temperature of 60° C at 100% efficiency? b) How long will it take to heat the water to a final temperature of 60°C at 80% efficiency? c)If electrical...
In this problem, we consider replacing an existing electrical
water heater with an array of solar panels. The net installed
investment cost of the panels is $1,235 ($1,900 less a 35% tax
credit from the government). Based on an energy audit, the
existing water heater uses 210 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity
per month, so at $0.14 per kWh, the cost of operating the water
heater is $29.4 per month. Assuming the solar panels can save the

A portable electric heater uses 21 A of current. The manufacturer recommends that an extension cord attached to the heater receive no more than 2.1 W of power per meter of length. What is the smallest radius of copper wire that can be used in the extension cord? (Note: An extension cord contains two wires.)
The heating element of a water heater in an apartment building has a maximum power output of 26 kW. Four residents of the building take showers at the same time, and each receives heated water at a volume flow rate of 15x10-5 m3/s. If the water going into the heater has a temperature of 10°C, what is the maximum possible temperature of the hot water that each showering resident receives?
