The voltage is probably either around 110 or around 220, since those are the standards for common household current. However, this is not relevant for calculating the answer.

Standard SI units: 500 Watts means that 500 Joules are used every second. (A day has 86400 seconds.)

However, you may prefer to do the calculation in kWh in the first place, since that is the unit used by electricity companies to charge for the energy used. Since 500 W is 0.5 kW, this means that every hour, 0.5 kWh is being used.

Electric energy usage on your electric bill is measured how?

Electric energy usage is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) on your electric bill. This measurement indicates the amount of electricity consumed over a specific period of time. The meter on your property records the total kilowatt-hours used, and this data is then used to calculate your electricity bill.


Graduated cylinders are marked in unit of?

Graduated cylinders are typically marked in units of milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm3). These units help measure the volume of liquid contained within the cylinder.


Out of 100 units of electric energy 20 of those units are used to produce light and 30 of those units are used to produce sound if the rest is converted into heat how many units of electric energy?

If 20 units are used for light and 30 units are used for sound, then a total of 50 units are used for those two purposes. This means 50 units are left to be converted into heat. So, the number of units of electric energy converted into heat is 50.


If 25 electric bulbs of same wattage are use for 5 hours daily the monthly bill is 150 - instead 20 bulb of same wattage are used for 8 hours what will the bill be at the end of the month?

25 bulbs used for 5 hours will use 125 'units' while 20 bulbs for 8 hours will use 160 'units'. So the bill goes up in proportion, from 150 to 150x160/125, which is a new bill of 192.


How many watts of electricity will a 7.5 amperes electric motor use in 5 hours on a 120 volt circuit?

On a 120 v circuit at 7.5 amperes, the power is 120x7.5 watts, 900 watts, and that is the case all the time at every instant the current is flowing. Over time more and more energy is used, and energy is measured in watt-seconds, also known as Joules, or watt-hours, or kilowatt-hours, also known as Units. So in one hour 0.9 units of electrical energy are used up. In 5 hours it is 4.5 units.

How many joules of energy is consumed if the electrical meter shows 400 units of energy?

To determine the joules of energy consumed, you would need to know the conversion factor from the units displayed on the electrical meter to joules. This conversion factor varies depending on factors like the voltage and current of the electricity supply. Typically, 1 unit of energy is equivalent to approximately 3600 joules. So if the meter reads 400 units, the energy consumed would be around 1,440,000 joules (400 units * 3600 joules/unit).
