russ_watters said:You can't. That's just the type of electricity it requires, not the quantity. You need the amperage, which you then multiply by the voltage.
Electrical energy can be calculated by multiplying the power consumption (in watts) by the time (in hours) that the device or system is in use. The formula for calculating electrical energy is: E = P x t, where E is energy (in watt-hours), P is power (in watts), and t is time (in hours).
The unit of measurement for electrical energy is the watt-hour (Wh). However, kilowatt-hours (kWh) are commonly used for larger quantities of energy, such as for household electricity usage.
To calculate the cost of electrical energy, you will need to know the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) from your electricity provider. Once you have this information, you can multiply the energy usage (in kWh) by the cost per kWh to determine the total cost of electrical energy used.
There are several factors that can affect electrical energy consumption, including the power rating of the device or system, the duration of use, and the efficiency of the device or system. Temperature, voltage, and current can also impact energy consumption.
Yes, there are other formulas that can be used to calculate electrical energy, such as E = I x V x t, where I is current (in amperes), V is voltage (in volts), and t is time (in seconds). However, the first formula (E = P x t) is commonly used for household and small-scale energy calculations.
