To answer this question the wattage of the appliance must be stated.
The number of watts used per hour is defined as a watt-hour or "wh". Electricity is normally billed as kilowatt hours or 1,000 watts per hour. Your electric bill will give you KWH number for the month so you could divide this by (24 x 30) to get an hourly average. As an example of the wide range of usage I have a town house rental that used 20 KWH in a month, and another large residence that used 2,900 KWH in a month. In this case the smaller house averaged 27.7 watts per hour and the larger house 4028 watts per hour.This answer is incorrect. A watt hour is not 'the number of watts used per hour'. It is the number of watts times the number of hours. There is no such thing as 'watts per hour'.
A Kilowatt hour is 1000 watts per hour. A 50 watt bulb will use just 50 watts per hour. Therefore over 12 hours the 50 watt bulb will use 50*12 watts = 600 watts or 0.6 of a kilowatt hour.
When the motor is running it uses the same power - number of watts - all the time. To find the energy used (in watt-hours) you multiply the watts used by the total time in hours. So if it uses 500 watts and is on for 3 minutes each hour, it uses 500x3/60 watt hours each hour, or 600 watt-hours in one day.
A kilowatt is 1,000 watts. A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts in an hour. So, in half an hour it uses 30 watts. Now if a kilowatt costs 20 cents, what does 0.03 kilowatt cost?
KWH stands for kilowatt hour, meaning a thousand watts used for an hour. In terms of, for example, the familiar 60 watt light bulb, you would need (just under) 17 such light bulbs operating for an hour to consume 1 KWH.

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.
One kilowatt hour (kWH) is the amount of power used at the rate of 1000 watts for one hour. Therefore a device of 120 watts running for one hour would consume 120 / 1000 x 1 = 0.12 kWH

No, wattage is the product of amps times volts. You are charged by a utility company for the amount of watts that are used in a hour. These watts are totaled up over a month and multiplied by a specific kw/h (kilowatt per hour) that is set by the utility company. In my area I am charged .08 cents for every kilowatt (1000) watts used per hour.
People consume electrical energy to help them in their daily lives, with lighting, cooking, heating and for electronic devices like TVs and computers. Electrical energy is billed to customers as Units. A Unit is a kilowatt-hour, in other words 1 kilowatt (1000 watts) of power used for 1 hour, or 100 watts used for 10 hours, etc. The cost of a unit is approximately £0.15.
A kilowatt is 1,000 watts. A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts in an hour. So, in half an hour it uses 30 watts. Now if a kilowatt costs 20 cents, what does 0.03 kilowatt cost?
Great question! It depends on the size. 20 minutes = 0.66 hours. Small: 800 watts/hour 264 watts in 20 minutes Medium: 1440 watts/hour 475 watts in 20 minutes Large: 2000 watts/hour 666 watts in 20 minutes To get an idea of how much this is, in terms of cost and in comparison with other appliances, you may want to check out the related link.
