Which costs more running a 1200-W hair dryer for 5 minutes or leaving a 60-W lamp on overnight 10 hours?

The amount of energy that is consumed by a 1.20 kilowatt hair used used for twelve minutes is approximately fifty seven kilojoules and the amount of energy consumed by an eleven watt night left on for ten hours is approximately twenty five kilojoules.

∙ 12y ago1200 watts for 15 minutes = 300 watt-hours
100 watts for 1 hour = 100 watt-hours
Total = 400 watt-hours = 0.4 kilowatt-hour of electrical energy

∙ 10y agoIt's easily worked out if you multiply the power by the time to find the energy used in each case.
A 1200 W hair dryer for 5 minutes takes 1200x5 watt-minutes. which is 6000 watt-minutes or 100 watt-hours.
A 60 W lamp for 10 hours takes 600 watt-hours.
So the lamp takes 6 times more energy, which costs 6 times more.
A 12 watt low-energy light provides as much light at one fifth the cost for the energy.

How bright is 1200 lumens?
It depends on the type of light bulb used. An incandescent that consumes 1200w will produce less lumens than a fluorescent that consumes the same 1200w. 1200 x 1w LEDs on a big board will produce more lumens than the fluorescent.
How many watts does a paper shredder use?
I'm sure just like everything else there are different sizes, which will make it vary, but you're about to know something that most don't. Volts x Amperes = Watts, or Watts divided by Volts = Amperes. Example say the appliance says 120V and 8Amp you mutiply 120 by 8 = 960Watts. If it says 1200W and 120V then you do 1200 divided by 120 = 10Amperes.
Does an unbalanced load on a split phase electrical power service affect the power measurement?
Yes, an unbalanced load on a split-phase electrical power service can affect the power measurement. The power measurement is calculated based on the current and voltage in the circuit. An unbalanced load means that the current and/or voltage in the different phases of the split-phase system are unequal. This can result in inaccurate power measurements, as the traditional power calculation assumes balanced conditions.
Do a 60 HZ appliance use more electricity?
The amount of energy used is really unrelated to voltage. The energy usage of a piece of equipment is related to the work done, and/or heat generated by that piece of equipment. Electrical power is equal to the voltage times the current (amperage). At 240 volts, the same amount of energy is produced using 1/2 of the current (amperage) draw than is required at 110 V. For instance, a 1200 watt appliance will require 10 amps of current at 120 V (120V x 10A = 1200W). The same appliance will require 5 amps of current to do the same job at 240 V (240V x 5A = 1200W). The energy usage (1200W x time) is the same in both cases.

What bags are used with the Shark Plus Euro-Pro 1200W vacuum cleaner?
Bags made for any canister vacuums will work with the Shark Plus Euro-Pro 1200W. Check out the related link below for an example of these bags.
Can you run a 15 sub with a 1200watt amp with a 10g power cable?
1200W on 10g cable would not be reccomended.. You will most likely have problems with the amp not getting enough power and shutting itself down.. At 1200W you would most likely be looking at 4g or bigger.

What watt amplifier will power a 1200 watt subwoofer?
1200W is the either the MAXIMUM power that a passive subwoofer (driver only) can HANDLE or the power rating of the amplifier on an active subwoofer (amp built-in). If passive, you can use pretty much any amplifier as long as it's 1200W or under. You can even use an amp that is > 1200W -- you just can't push it past 1200W or you risk damaging your sub. The relative loudness at a given dial on the volume knob is dependent on the sensitivity of the sub (measured in dB). Also bear in mind that power varies with resistance so an amp that pushes 1200W @ 4 ohm will not be able to deliver 1200W to an 8 ohm speaker -- often times it can only deliver 1/2 the power (i.e. 600W @ 8 ohm in this case). If active, well the sub already has an amp so you just need to feed it a line-level or speaker-level signal. Either way if you're talking about your car or home I guarantee you won't be pushing ANYWHERE near 1200W -- that's window-shattering, deafening loud. Just to put things into perspective, I use an amp that's rated at 10 W into 8 ohms and never turn the volume dial past 1 or 2 o'clock, which means the amp is never delivering more than maybe 6 or 7 watts. If you can get remotely close to 1200W that means the amp is so inefficient that it'll probably be melting and/or burning down your house/car at that point.

You bake a potato in a 1200-w toaster oven for 25 minutes how many joules did the toaster use?
1 Watt = 1 Joule/Sec or Joule = Watt * Time (seconds) So saying that the 1200-W toaster oven is working at full capacity then it is using 1200W * (60 sec * 25) = 1,800,000 joules.
