Electricity consumption activity

1. Select five household appliances at your home. Look for the wattage label
at the back or base of the appliance. This label lists the maximum amount of
power the appliance utilizes. Wattage is usually the maximum power the device
operates.

2. Multiply wattage by hours used each day. For example, if an electric fan
requires 80 watts and runs for an average of 3 hours per day, then it may be
computed as:

Electric Fans daily watt-hour is equal to: (80 watts) X (4 hours/day) = 320
watt hours per day

3. Usually in electric bill, electricity consumption is in kilowatt. Convert watt

to kilowatt by dividing the result by 1,000 since a kilowatt is equivalent to 1,000
watts.
Example: 320 hours) ÷ 1,000 = 0.32 kilowatt hours per day

4. Compute the total number of kilowatts generated per month. To calculate

your kWH per month, just multiply it by the number of days per month. Use 30
days in month

5. Multiply the cost of electricity per kWh. Your electricity bill lists the cost per
kilowatt hour. Multiply this number by the kWh to find the amount you are
expected to pay.

6. Compute for the total price per appliances if 1 kilowatt =P 10.50

7. Compute for your total bill using all those 5 appliances for a month.

8. Fill in the table below. (20 points)

9. Which among those 5 appliances consumes the largest amount

of electricity?

The refrigerator is the most energy-intensive of the five

appliances, with a wattage of 780 W and a 24-hour use.

10. Which among those 5 appliances consumes the least amount of

electricity?
The rice cooker is the least energy-intensive of the five
appliances.

11. What can you do to lower down your electric bills?

We have the ability to conserve both money and energy.
Increasing your energy efficiency is like adding another clean energy
 source to our electric power grid, and saving energy reduces our
nation's overall demand for resources needed to make energy.
12.List down activities in which you can conserve energy.
The activities that I can do to conserve energy are (1) Unplug
devices, such as phone chargers and camera battery chargers,
because they are sucking money from our power bill if they are left
plugged in. (2) Make use of natural light, which can enlighten 20 to
100 times the space of a single south-facing window. (3) Keep your
refrigerator clean and keep the cold air in and the warm air out by
using airtight refrigerator door seals.
13. Which among the different types of renewable sources of energy is best
suited or be widely used in our country and why?
Solar energy from the sun is a suitable renewable energy source
in our country. Since sun never fails to shine on the Filipinos. As a
result, solar panels in the Philippines are an excellent way to save
money. Because the tropical climate allows for a lot of sunlight, there
will never be a shortage of solar energy sources.
