in household , 5 tube lights of 40W each are used for 5 hours and electric press of 500w For 4 hours every day . calculate the total electrical energy consumed by the tube lights and press in a month of 30 days

we know that energy is given as

E = P x t

now,

total energy used by 5 tube lights in 30 days

E1 = 5 x 40 x 5 x 30 = 30000 Wh = 30 kWh

and

total energy used by an electric press

E2 = 1 x 500 x 4 x 30 = 60000 Wh = 60 kWh

thus, total energy consumed

E = E1 + E2 = 30 kWh + 60kWh

so,

E = 90 kWh

power = 5 x 40 w (tubelight)

time = 5hr

e = p x t

e = 40 x 5 x5

e= 1000watt-hr

power = 500 watt 

time = 4 hr

e = p x t

e = 500 x 4

e = 2000 watt-hr

total energy =1000+2000

=3000watt-hr

energy consumed in 30 days = 3000 x 30 =90000watt-hr
