Calculate the energy consumed by a 100 W refrigerator in 30 days, if it works for 16 hours a day.

Solution

The refrigerator works for 16 hours on 30 days.

Power of the refrigerator, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW

Total time, t = 30 x 16 hours 

Now, usig the formula for energy, we get

Energy consumed = P x t

                            = 0.1 kW x 30 x 16 h

                            = 48 kWh.
