1 kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts, so a 100 watt bulb uses .1 kilowatt.

Technically, your home or business meter base measures kilowatt hours, meaning that it measures both the kilowatts and the amount of time. If you turn on 10 100 watt bulbs for 1 second, that would be a kilowatt, but the amount of power use would be insignificant.

So...

To calculate the kilowatt hours:

.1 kilowatts (from above, knowing the energy use of the bulb)

Multiplied by 24 hours in a day

Multiplied by 30 days...

.1(kilowatts) * 24(hours)* 30(hours in a day) = 72 kilowatt hours

How many kilowatts does a light bulb use?

Thsi depends on the light bulb specification. For example if you buy a standard 60W light bulb from your supmarket then this will consume 0.06kilowatts. Its simple just divide the wattage stated on the light bulb by 1000 to give you the kilowatts


How long is thirty km in minutes?

It would appear you are mixing units, that is measures of distance and measures of time. However, it may be that you are referring to "light minutes", as such measure distance as well. Given that the speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 per second, this would mean that one light minute would be 17,987,547,480 kilometers. We can readily see by this that such a small distance as thirty kilometers could only be expressed in a fraction of a light minute, and indeed would be only a fraction of a light second. If we take 299,792,458 kilometers and divide it by 30 kilometers, we see that 1/9,993,082th of a light second is about thirty kilometers. Therefore, in answer to "How long is thirty kilometers expressed in light seconds?", the answer is roughly 1/10 millionth of a light second.

How many killawatts are in a standard light bulb?

"A standard light bulb I would consider to be a 60 watt light bulb, and kilowatts are the amount of usage in a light bulb. From my research I have found that a standard 60 watt light bulb uses approximately 1.44 Kilowatts per hour."


How many kilowatt hours - KWh - are used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour?

A kilowatt is 1,000 Watts. 30 Watts is equal to 0.03 kilowatts. A kWh or kilowatt-hour is the rate of electrical usage. It is a measure of kilowatts used per period of time (1 hour). 1 kWh is 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 1 hour. So, multiply your 30 watts (0.03 kilowatts) by 1 hour to get kWh. =0.03 kWh In about 33 hours and 20 minutes, this lamp would use 1 kWh.


If a 100 w light bulb is lit for 8 hours each day for W days in a month many kilowatt-hours will the bulb consume?

Convert the 100 watts to kilowatts. Calculate the total time in hours, and multiply by the number of kilowatts that the light bulb uses.
