Review of the Previous lesson
What is energy?
In electrical terms, energy is synonymous with fuel. It is associate with work. Enegery can be expressed in gallons, ,iters,
barrels, coal, or kilowatt hour or consumed electricity and cost of operations. In technical terms, energy is expressed in
kilowatt hour for electricity.
Our appliances have respective power ratings. Power Ratings (usually in watts or kilowatts) indicate the amount of energy
consumed by each appliance for a period time. The higher the power rating of an appliance is and the longer the its is used,
the more electrical energy is consumed.
The table below shows the power rating of some appliances we usually use at home.
When determining how many watts x hours your appliances will use, keep in mind that many of the appliances you
might use will only run for an average of a few minutes per day.
To compute the cost of electrical energy consumption, multiply the wattage (in kilowatts), the length of time of use
(in hours), and the cost of electricity (per kilowatts-hour) set by your electricity distributor.
E. Application
On the table, list down the appliances you use at home and try to estimate the number of operating hours per month. Then,
try to compute your monthly consumption by following the example given.
F. Generalization
Power in an electrical circuit refers to the rate at which electrical energy is consumed or converted into other forms,
like heat, light, or motion. It is calculated using the formula P=VIP = VI, where PP is power, VV is voltage, and II is
current. Power is typically measured in watts (W).
Energy consumption refers to the amount of energy used by devices, appliances, or systems over a period of time. It
is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and depends on factors like power rating, usage time, and efficiency. The
higher the power and the longer the usage, the more energy is consumed.
G. Evaluation
Provide the answers to the question below.
Appliance/Device Usage:
4. List the appliances you use regularly and their power ratings (in watts).
Example: 100W light bulb, 1500W heater, etc.
