Heating In the real world, much of the electrical energy of a circuit is turned into thermal energy.
Kilowatt-Hours Most electric bills are calculated using the kilowatt-hour as the unit. A kilowatt-hour is an amount of energy.
Cost - 20¢ kWhr What is the cost of running a 60 W incandescent bulb for 1000 hours? What is the cost of running a 13 W CF bulb for 1000 hours?
