There are two things missing in this question. The period of time the 1000 watts is being used and the price that you are paying for a kWh. If the 1000 watts was left on for an hour it would be 1 kWh. The cost per kWh is still needed, so it can be multiplied the the 1 kWh, to find a cost.

∙ 13y agoElectricity is usually charged by the Killowatt Hour. 500 watt bulb is .5 KW.
Look on your electric bill for the charge per KWh and multiplu by .5
An average cost in 12 cents per KWh so the cost is about 6 cents per hour.

∙ 12y agoTo calculate an answer, a time interval must be given. The utility company bills the customer in kW/h of use. Use a time interval and multiply it by the 5 watts. Divide the answer by 1000 to give you kilowatts. Multiply that answer by the cost of electricity in your area. This can be found on your utility bill or you can phone the utility company to see what you are charged. It will be stated as so may cents per kilowatt hours. I pay .089 cents per kilowatt hour as an example.

∙ 14y agoCheck with your power company on the price per kilowatt. Multiply that price by 1 (1,000 watts is 1 kilowatt).

∙ 13y agoWatts are computed as amps times volts (AxV=Watts). Using that formula we know Watts and volts so w/v = amps. therefore 500/110=4.55 (rounded off) so they draw 4.55 amps roughly.

Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
How many lumens in an 8 watt LED bulb?
lumenicity (how much light something gives off) is not directly related to power. A 60 watt LED will give off more light than a 60 watt incandescent. You should check the manufacturers information. Light.com (first one to show up in my google search) specifies a 500 lumen 8 watt LED. the 52W incandescent "soft white" bulbs I have on many dimmers in my home put of 710 lumens as a comparison.
How much does a 500 kW electric motor cost?
very much :-)

How much does it cost to run a 1000 watt light bulb in 24 hours?
a 1000 watt bulb used for 24 hours consumes 24,000 watt-hours of energy, or 24 kilowatt-hours or kWh. That is also described as 24 Units, each costing around £0.15. So the toal cost would be about £3.60.
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
Would you use less electrical energy burning a 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds or a 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds?
1 watt = 1 Joule/sec 60 watts x 900 sec = 54 000 Joule 100 watts x 500 sec = 50 000 Joule So you use less electrical energy using 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds.
A 500 watt pool light pulls how many amps?
To answer this question the voltage of the bulb is needed.

What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?
A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
How much energy is used by a streetlight per hour?
Yes, that's the question. A 1000 Watt light uses... 1000 Watts. A 500 Watt light uses, you guessed it... 500 watts. It depends on the size of the bulb. ACTUALLY... Watts are a measure of power, Joules are the measure of energy - you can simply convert watts/hour or watts/second to joules but to say that a 1000 Watt light bulb uses 1000 watts is a ridiculous thing to say =D watts are Wh-1 or Ws-1
When running a 500 watt appliance can a solar panel of 500 watt run that appliance while there is sunlight?

How much watts does a lamp use?
The wattage of a lamp is normally written on it. If you need to work it out you can measure the voltage across the lamp then measure the current passing through it. Multiplying the voltage by the number of amps will give you the wattage.
How many lumens in a 40 watt hallogen?
That will vary on the manufacture and quality of the bulb. There is no set amount of lumens for a 40 watt halogen or any kind of bulb for that matter. To find out the lumen output you need to look at the box it came in as it should be stated. If you don't have the box it may be tricky to find out. You will have to see if you can find the manufacture somewhere on the bulb then google it and check the specs. It's probably safe to say its going to be around 500 lumens on average.
