Question 9

A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is this in joules?

Answer

Given,

Energy (E) = 250 units

1 kWh = 3.6 x 106 J

1 unit of energy = 1 kWh

So, 250 units of energy = 250 × 3.6 × 106 = 9 × 108 J.

Hence, 250 units of energy = 9 × 108 J.

Quick Revision Points

  • Work W = Fs cosθ (joule); W = 0 when F ⊥ s or displacement = 0
  • KE = ½mv²; PE = mgh; Work-energy theorem: W = ΔKE
  • Conservation: energy transforms but total remains constant; PE + KE = constant in free fall
  • Power P = W/t (watt = J/s); 1 HP = 746 W
  • 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J = 1 unit of electricity
