It's always shown on a small metal plate attached somewhere on the appliance,

like on the back or the bottom. It shows the power that the item uses when it's

running. Multiply that by the amount of time it runs, and you have the energy

consumed, which is what you pay for on your electric bill.

The power rating will be anything from maybe 3 watts for an electric clock or

a night light, up to maybe 1,500 to 2,000 watts for a blow-drier, a toaster,

a freezer, a microwave oven etc.

If the 'power' isn't shown on the plate, just multiply the volts (usually 120)

by the Amps, and that product is the power in watts.

How do you work out the number of joules of wasted energy in a TV?

To calculate the wasted energy in a TV, you would multiply the power consumption of the TV (in watts) by the time the TV is left on (in hours). This will give you the energy consumed in watt-hours (Wh). To convert watt-hours to joules, multiply by 3600 (since 1 Wh = 3600 joules).
