If NEPA charges 5k per kWhr, what is the cost of operating for 24 hours a lamp required 1A on a 200v line?

  • A 24k
  • B 55k
  • C 40k
  • D 26k
  • E 32k

The correct answer is A. 24k

To calculate the cost of operating the lamp for 24 hours, we first need to determine the power consumption of the lamp in watts.

Given:Current (I) = 1AVoltage (V) = 200VTime (t) = 24 hours

Power (P) = V x IPower (P) = 200V x 1APower (P) = 200W

Since power is given in watts and NEPA charges 5k per kWhr, we need to convert the power from watts to kilowatts:Power (P) = 200W = 0.2 kW

Now, we can calculate the cost of operating the lamp for 24 hours:Cost = Power x Time x Cost per kWhrCost = 0.2 kW x 24 hours x 5k/kWhrCost = 4.8 kWh x 5kCost = 24k
