An electric heater is rated 2200 VA, 220V. If the heater is operated for 1 hour, calculate the energy consumed:
(i) in kWh
(ii) in J
2.2 kWh, 792 x 102J
VA = volt x ampere = watt
P = 2200VA = 2200w = 2.2kw
i) Energy (in kWh) = P ´ t = 2.2 ´ 1 = 2.2kWh
ii) Energy (in J) = P ´ t = 2200 ´ 3600 = 792 ´ 104 J
