Kilowatt-hour definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kilowatt-hour is an energy unit (symbol kWh or kW\u22c5h).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One kilowatt-hour is defined as the energy consumed by power consumption of 1kW during 1 hour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 kWh = 1kW \u22c5 1h<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6\u22c5106<\/sup> joules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 kWh = 3.6\u22c5106 <\/sup>J<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The energy E in kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to the power P in kilowatts (kW), times the time t in hours (h).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E<\/em>(kWh)<\/sub> = P<\/em>(kW)<\/sub> \u22c5 t<\/em>(h)<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Kilowatt-hour example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example what is the energy consumed when consuming 2kW for 3 hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E<\/em>(kWh)<\/sub> = 2kW \u22c5 3h = 6kWh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>kWh meter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

kWh meter is the electric meter that measures the amount of electrical energy in kWh that was consumed in the house. The kWh meter has a counter display that counts units of kilowatt-hour (kWh). The energy consumption is calculated by calculating the difference of the counter’s reading in the specified period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Cost of electricity bill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of electricity bill is calculated by multiplying the number of kWh that were consumed by the cost of 1kWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the electricity bill’s cost for consumption of 900kWh per month with cost of 10 cents for 1kWh is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

900kWh x 10\u00a2 = 9000\u00a2 = 90$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How many kilowatt-hour does a house use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Energy consumption of a house is about the range of 150kWh..1500kWh per month or 5kWh..50kWh per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends on the weather that affects the heating or air conditioning requirements and the number of people that live in the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
