Which uses more energy, a 250 W TV set in 1 hr, or a 1200 W toaster in 10 minutes?
Solution and Explanation
Energy consumed by an electrical appliance is given by the expression, H= Pt
Where,
Power of the appliance = P
Time = t
Energy consumed by a TV set of power 250 W in 1 h = 250 ×3600 = 9 ×105 J
Energy consumed by a toaster of power 1200 W in 10 minutes = 1200 ×600
Energy consumed by a toaster of power 1200 W in 10 minutes = 1200 ×600 = 7.2×105 J
Therefore, the energy consumed by a 250 W TV set in 1 h is more than the energy consumed by a toaster of power 1200 W in 10 minutes.

Electric Power
Power is defined as the rate of doing work. Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred through an electric circuit, i.e. the rate of transfer of electricity. The symbol for Electric Power is ‘P’. SI unit of electric power is Watt.
Electric Power Formula
P = VI
From Ohm's Law, V = IR
Hence, Power can also be expressed as P = I2R
