The idea is to divide the energy by the power used. First, convert the units to make them consistent. For example, you might convert kilowatt-hours to watt-hours.

How many kilowatt hours KWh are used to light a 30 watt light bulb in 8?
A 30-watt bulb uses 0.03 kilowatt-hours every hour, or 30 kilowatt-hours in 1000 hours. To find the kilowatt-hours, multiply 0.03 by the time in hours.
How many watts does a 60w light bulb consume in a day - in pound sterling?
A 60 Watt light bulb consumes electrical energy. If you leave is on for 24 hours, it consumes 60 x 24 = 1440 Watt-Hours, or 1.44 Kilowatt-Hours. If you want to know how much money this much energy costs, look on your last electricity bill. There it will give the cost of one Kilowatt-Hour.
How many kilowatt hours does a 100 watt light use in 20 hours?
First let us convert the power of the bulb into kilowatts.A kilowatt is 1000 watts. We have one tenth of that. So 100W = 0.1kWTo work out the kilowatt hours we simply multiply the power in kilowatts by the time the bulb is on for (in hours):0.1kW x 10h = 1 kWha 100 watt bulb uses 100 watts of power. In ten hours it uses 100x10 watt-hours, or 1 kilowatt-hour. A kilowatt-hour is also called a unit, and units are what you pay for.
Running cost of a 15 watt light bulb over 24 hours?
15 w * 24 h = 360 watt-hours. [conversion: 360 (w-h) /1000 (w/kw)= .36 kilowatt-hours] So, .36 times your local electricity supply and delivery rate (in kilowatt-hours). For me, supply and delivery of 1 kilowatt-hour is $3.25 (you can find this on your bill) So, .36 * 3.25= $1.17 to run 15 watt light for 24 hours
How many kilowatts does a energy saving light bulb use?
Energy-saving bulbs use much less than 1 kilowatt and most of them use less than 40 watts which is 0.04 kilowatts. A 20 watt bulb uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy if run for 50 hours.
How many kilowatt hours KWh are used to light a 30 watt light bulb in 8?
A 30-watt bulb uses 0.03 kilowatt-hours every hour, or 30 kilowatt-hours in 1000 hours. To find the kilowatt-hours, multiply 0.03 by the time in hours.
How many kilowatt-hours does a 50 watt fluorescent light bulb use in 24 hours?
50 watts is 0.05 kilowatts, so in 24 hours it uses 0.05 x 24 kilowatt-hours, or 1.2 kilowatt-hours of energy.
If a 60 watt light bulb is used for 95 hours before it burns out what is the life of the light bulb in kilowatt hours?
This is a tricky question. Similar to the question which weigh more 1 kilogram wool or 1 kilogram iron? 1 kilowatt = 1,000 watt, and 60 watt are 0.06 kilowatt. It is the same power, but expressed in two different terms. The life of the light bulb will be the same, 95 hours.
If a 100 w light bulb is lit for 8 hours each day for W days in a month many kilowatt-hours will the bulb consume?
Convert the 100 watts to kilowatts. Calculate the total time in hours, and multiply by the number of kilowatts that the light bulb uses.
How much does it cost to run a light bulb?
It depends on the bulb, how many watts it is. All bulbs are marked with the correct voltage and the power taken, in watts. You multiply the watts by the number of hours to find the watt-hours of energy used. Then divide by 1000 to find the kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also called a unit and you pay about £0.15 for a unit of electricity. Let's say it's a 100 watt bulb running for 24 hours. That uses 2400 watt-hours or 2.4 kilowatt-hours, which costs about 2.4 x £0.15 which is £0.36.
How do you compute electrical consumption of a device?
A simple electrical device is a 60 watt light bulb. The bulb is consuming 60 watts of electricity from the moment you turn it on. If you keep that light bulb on for 10 hours the power used is 60 watts x 10 hours = 600 watts of power. Electricity is sold in Kilowatt Hours. A Kilowatt is 1000 watts of power. Depending on the state you live in, it sells for 7 to 18 cents per Kilowatt Hour. So if you leave that light bulb on 10 hours per day for 30 days you will have used up 600 watts x 30 days = 18,000 watts of electricity = 18 Kilowatt Hours. At an average cost of 10 cents per Kilowatt Hour that bulb costs you $1.80 per month to leave on. The formula is watts x time x cost per Kilowatt Hour = cost of use...Answer provided by Gene Evangelist
A 100 watt light bulb left on for 24hrs how many kilowatts does it draw in a thirty day period?
1 kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts, so a 100 watt bulb uses .1 kilowatt. Technically, your home or business meter base measures kilowatt hours, meaning that it measures both the kilowatts and the amount of time. If you turn on 10 100 watt bulbs for 1 second, that would be a kilowatt, but the amount of power use would be insignificant. So... To calculate the kilowatt hours: .1 kilowatts (from above, knowing the energy use of the bulb) Multiplied by 24 hours in a day Multiplied by 30 days... .1(kilowatts) * 24(hours)* 30(hours in a day) = 72 kilowatt hours
How many watts does a 60w light bulb consume in a day - in pound sterling?
A 60 Watt light bulb consumes electrical energy. If you leave is on for 24 hours, it consumes 60 x 24 = 1440 Watt-Hours, or 1.44 Kilowatt-Hours. If you want to know how much money this much energy costs, look on your last electricity bill. There it will give the cost of one Kilowatt-Hour.
How many kilowatt hours does 4 100 watt light bulb use in 24 hours?
Add up all the individual watts, convert everything to kilowatts, then multiply by the number of hours.

Running cost of a 15 watt light bulb over 24 hours?
15 w * 24 h = 360 watt-hours. [conversion: 360 (w-h) /1000 (w/kw)= .36 kilowatt-hours] So, .36 times your local electricity supply and delivery rate (in kilowatt-hours). For me, supply and delivery of 1 kilowatt-hour is $3.25 (you can find this on your bill) So, .36 * 3.25= $1.17 to run 15 watt light for 24 hours
How much does it cost in cents to run a 60 watt light bulb?
In 100 hours it will use 6 kilowatt-hours (units) of electrical energywhich would cost around £1 or $1.
