Question

A geyser is rated 1500 W, 250 V. This geyser is connected to 250 V mains. The energy consumed in 50 hours is:

• A. $75kWh$
• B. $50kWh$
• C. $1500kWh$
• D. $250kWh$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $75kWh$

P=VI. The power of the geyser is given as 1500 W.

The energy consumed by the geyser in kWh is given by the formula $W=P\times t=1500W\times 50hours=75kWh$.

Hence, the energy consumed by the geyser in 50 hours is 75 kWh.
