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 long after a light short period should you test for pregnancy?

How many kilowatt-hours does a 50 watt fluorescent light bulb use in 24 hours?

50 watts is 0.05 kilowatts, so in 24 hours it uses 0.05 x 24 kilowatt-hours, or 1.2 kilowatt-hours of energy.


How many days are irregular menstrual period?

Irregular menstrual period means a period which is not a set number of days, it may be only a couple of days one cycle and then weeks the next. Irregular menstrual periods can also see irregular flow patterns so light then heavy one cycle, heavy all the way through the period of the next cycle.

How many kilowatts in a 100 grams of mass energy?

To convert mass energy to kilowatts, you need to first convert mass into energy using the equation E=mc^2, where c is the speed of light. Then, convert the energy into kilowatts by dividing by the desired time interval. A 100 grams of mass energy would correspond to a very large amount of kilowatts due to the speed of light being squared in the equation.


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.

How many kilowatts are being used in a 120 volt 100 watt light bulb pulling 1.07 amps?

To calculate the power consumption in kilowatts, first convert the current from amperes to kilowatts using the formula P = V x I. In this case, P = 120V x 1.07A = 128.4 watts. Then, convert watts to kilowatts by dividing by 1000: 128.4 watts / 1000 = 0.1284 kW. Therefore, a 120 volt 100 watt light bulb pulling 1.07 amps uses 0.1284 kilowatts of power.


How many kilowatt hours does a 25 watt fluorescent light bulb use in 24 hours?

25*24/1000 or: first convert wattage to kilowatts (25/1000) = .025 Kw then multiply by hours 24hrs X .025Kw = 0.6 Kwh about 6 cents/day see what wattage on your TV is.


How far is 32 years in astronomical units?

"32 years" is a period of time, not a distance. When astronomers get together and talk about the period of time that we call '32years', they refer to it among themselves as "thirty-two years". <><><> 32 LIGHT YEARS would come close to 10 Parsecs. A Parsec is about 3.26 light years.


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

To calculate the kilowatt hours (KWh) used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour, you would divide the wattage (30) by 1000 to get the kilowatt value (0.03). Then, multiply this by the number of hours (1) to get 0.03 KWh.
