MHB Conversion KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year

Click For Summary
An appliance that consumes 6.65 kWh per day has an average power consumption of approximately 277 watts. To convert this daily energy consumption into joules for a year, the total energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the daily usage by the number of days in a year, resulting in 2,426,400 kJ. The conversion factor from kilowatt-hours to joules is essential for this calculation, where 1 kWh equals 3.6 million joules. The formula P = W/t is used to relate power, work, and time, confirming the average power consumption over a year. Understanding these conversions is crucial for energy management and appliance efficiency.

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 6.65 kW*h of per day?

6650/24=277 W

b) How many joules of energy does this appliance consume in a year?

What is the conversion factors for b)?

P = W/t. (P = power, W = work = energy output more or less, t = time.) You've got P from part a and now t = 1 year.
