Calculate how much it costs to use five common appliances that you use every day in your home for 24 hours.
Refridgerator
725w - 4.5a - 115v
725 x 24hrs = 17400 or 17.4kwh x $.12767 (gru charge per kwh) =$ 2.22 for 24 hours
Rice Maker
300w - 2.5a - 120v
300 x 24hrs = 7200 or 7.2kwh x $.12767 = $.92
Dell Monitor
480w - 2a - 240v
480 x 24hrs = 11520 or 11.52kwh x $.12767=$1.47
Printer
762w - 6a - 127v
762 x 24hrs = 18288 or 18.29kwh x $.12767=$2.34
Power Drill
588w - 4.9a - 120v
588 x 24hrs = 14112 or 14.11kwh x $.12767=$1.80
How many of those appliances can you pug into one outlet without tripping a breaker?
120v ona 15a breaker = 2400w
I could do the printer, rice maker, monitor and fridge on one outlet.
What is the directional relationship between charge and current?
Current is how much charge is passing through a point per second, while charge is how many electrons vs protons are moving throughout the circuit, or negative charge.
DO this experiment or another of your choice if you would like to experience static electricy. http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/staticroll.php Please document visually on blog
EC Find the distribution board and photograph for where you live. You may have to ask a janitor to let you in.
