Calculate the electrical energy consumed when a potential difference of 5 V is applied across a resistor of 2 ohms for 30 minutes.
 
Remember: V=IR and I=V/R

• 80 W
• 200 W
• 22500 J or 22.5 KJ
• 4500 J or 4.5 KJ

A current of 0.5 A flows through a resistance of 10 ohms for half an hour. Find the amount of electrical energy consumed by the resistance.
 
Remember:
V = IR
P = VI
E = Pt

• 22500 J or 22.5 KJ
• 4500 J or 4.5 KJ
• 79.2 W
• 2.5 A

An electric meter reads 3462 kWh at the end of the month while a month ago it read 3396 kWh. How many units of electrical energy have been comsumed during the month? Find the cost of electrical energy consumed if 1 kWh of energy costs $0.12

• 66 kWh = 66 units; $7.92
• 45 kWh = 44 units; $5.280
• 22.5 kWh = 22.5 units; $2.700
• 80 kWh = 80 units; $9.600
