If we assume that you are using a 120V electric pencil sharpener, then it uses approximately 100 Watts.

Over a ten hour period of constant use, that would add up to 1 kWh.

How much electricity does a pencil sharpener use per hour?

As many other devices it depends on the time of use... for example: a regular pencil sharpener as the Panasonic KP380 load is tagged 70W. If a pencil is about 7.5 inches length and each sharpen process takes about 1/2 inches, this means you will have to use it about 15 times in the lifetime of the pencil. Each time lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. For each pencil you need 75 sec (.02083 hrs) . Power usage is (70w)x(0.20833) = 1.45 Wh / pencil. or 0.00145 KWh/pencil


Why is the crant on a meat grinder larger than the crank on pencil sharpener?

It takes more energy to grind meat than it does to take off a few bits of a pencil. The crank on a pencil sharpener doesn't have to be large to spin around efficiently. If you used the same size handle on a meat grinder, you'd be grinding an ounce of hamburger for an hour before getting anywhere. It takes a larger crank to efficiently turn with enough strength to move the grinding mechanism.
