Best Answer

On a 120 v circuit at 7.5 amperes, the power is 120x7.5 watts, 900 watts, and that is the case all the time at every instant the current is flowing.

Over time more and more energy is used, and energy is measured in watt-seconds, also known as Joules, or watt-hours, or kilowatt-hours, also known as Units.

So in one hour 0.9 units of electrical energy are used up. In 5 hours it is 4.5 units.

How much energy does a TV use and how much it is in dollars?

That will depends on (a) the type of television set, (b) the cost of electricity in your region, and (c) how long you keep it turned on. Take a look at the TV set's electrical specifications - how much it uses in watts. Most electric and electronic devices have a small metal plate that tells that. If it doesn't state the amount of watts, multiply volts x amperes to get watts. Multiply that by the number of hours you want to have it turned on, to get kilowatt-hours. Take a look at an electric bill, and divide the total amount by the number of kWh spent, to get an estimate of the cost per kWh.
