- The typical replacement for a 100-W incandescent bulb is a 20-W LED bulb. The 20-W LED bulb can provide the same amount of light output as the 100-W incandescent light bulb. What is the cost savings for using the LED bulb in place of the incandescent bulb for one year, assuming $0.10 per kilowatt-hour is the average energy rate charged by the power company? Assume that the bulb is turned on for three hours a day.arrow_forwardIn a particular town, electrical energy costs $0.12 per kilowatt-hour. (Round your answers, in dollars, to at least two decimal places.) (a) How much does it cost to operate an old-style incandescent 100-W light bulb continuously for 24 hours? $ (b) A modern LED light bulb that emits as much visible light as a 100-W incandescent only draws 16.0 W of power. How much does it cost to operate this bulb for 24 hours? $ (c) A particular electric oven requires a potential difference of 220 V and draws 20.0 A of current when operating. How much does it cost to operate the oven for 4.80 hours? $arrow_forwardIt seems hard to justify spending $4.00 for an LED lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs $0.50. To see if it makes sense, compare a 60 W incandescent bulb that lasts 1000 hours to a 10 W LED bulb that lasts 20,000 hours. (These are typical values.) Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable.arrow_forward
- Compact fluorescent bulbs aremuch more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescentbulbs. They initially cost much more, but they last far longer and usemuch less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compactbulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb usesonly 23 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10,000 hours, on the average,and costs $11.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $0.75,but lasts just 750 hours. The study assumed that electricity costs $0.080per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs are on for 4.0 h per day. What is the resistance of a “100 W” fluorescent bulb? (Remember, it actually uses only 23 W of power and operates across 120 V.)arrow_forwardCompact fluorescent bulbs aremuch more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescentbulbs.

- A 14 W energy efficient CFL lamp, is designed to produce the same illumination, as a conventional 60 W, light bulb. How much money does the user of the energy efficient lamp save in 1 month, if the lamp is used for 10 hours / day. The cost of electricity is 10 Bz/KWh.arrow_forwardAn 11 W LED light bulb has an efficiency of 30 %. What amount of energy is wasted if the bulb is operated continuously for 1 minute?arrow_forwardAn incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation. Consider an 8-cm-diameter 60-W lightbulb in a room at 25°C. The emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming that 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself by natural convection and radiation, determine the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb. Assume the interior surfaces of the room to be at room temperature.arrow_forward
- John uses a 9 W light bulb in his bedroom which he turns on before going to sleep and then turns off 8 hours later. Determine the amount of savings (in Philippine Peso) John will make in a month if he replaces this bulb with a 1 W LED night light. The energy cost is PhP 9.50 per kWh. Round off to the nearest hundredth digit.arrow_forwarda CFL or compact flourescent lamp uses less energy that its equivalent incandescent bulb. how much will a person save of he uses a 30 W CFL instead of 100 W incandescent lamp for 7 hours in 30 days? electricity is priced at 9.55 php/ kW.hr.arrow_forwardCompact fluorescent tubes cost $15 each and have an estimated life span of 8,000 hours. These tubes consume 20 W of power, but produce illumination equivalent to that of 75 W incandescent bulbs. These cost $3.75 each and have an estimated life span of 1,200 hours. If a home has, on average, six 75W incandescent bulbs on constantly and energy costs $0.2875 per kilowatt-hour, how much money will a consumer save each year by installing fluorescent tubes instead?arrow_forward
