How much electricity does a home phone use per hour?

Answer 1

I think maybe he was asking about the following...

I say that there is no such thing as watts per day. This is like saying how many "rates at which i use energy do i use a day". remember a watt is a Joule/second... you could say at what rate does my home consume energy given a monthly kW*hr usage. if you use 1365 Kw*hr/ month that homes average wattage would be 1.89 kW all day and all night for all 30 days in the month based on the numbers you gave.

The math:

1356 kW*hr* (1/30days) *1day/24hrs => 1365/(30*24) = 1.89kW

------

Simpler answer: Energy used per day is measured in watt-hours, or more usually kilowatt-hours, and a typical house might use 35 kilowatt-hours per day. That is equal to 1.458 kilowatt-hours per hour, in other words an average power of 1.458 kilowatts.

------

A Watt is a measure of how fast energy is used, it's one Joule per second, so 'per day' doesn't really have a meaning. The power used in a house, averaged over 1 year, is 800-1000 Watts in the UK.

Answer 2

The amount of energy used on a daily basis depend on the number of appliances and electronic devices. A central air conditioner uses 5,000 watts of energy, while an electric dryer uses 3,400 watts per day.

Answer 3

A home phone typically uses very little electricity, around 2-3 watts per hour when on standby and up to 6-10 watts when in use. This translates to minimal energy consumption, costing just a few cents per month to operate.

Answer 4

Probably not much at all. Maybe 5 or 10 watts @ 48 volts.

Answer 5

not much but ,you dont have to worry about that because the phone doesnt work off your electricity

Answer 6

.5
An average cell phone uses:

• 3.68 watts of power from the outlet while charging
• 2.24 watts when charge

Answer 7

since it is on all day it is 30 per hour
