The power rating of an appliance tells you how much energy is transferred per second (the rate of energy transfer). Power can be calculated by using which calculation (NOTE: You might have to convert units when completing the calculation)?

a)

Power(W) = energy(J) ×\times  time(s)

b)

Power(W) = energy(J) ÷\div  time(s)

c)

Power(W) = time(s) ÷\div  energy(J)

d)

Power(W) = energy(s) ÷\div  time(J)

10.

You can calculate the cost of using an appliance at home using the equation (NOTE: You might have to convert units when completing the calculation):

a)

cost = power(kW) ÷\div  time(hours) ÷\div  price(per kWh)

b)

cost = power(kW) ÷\div  time(hours) x price(per kWh)

c)

cost = power(kW) x time(hours) ÷\div  price(per kWh)

d)

cost = power(kW) x time(hours) x price(per kWh)
