Capacity for doing work is called energy. That means energy required for electrical work done in a particular time period is called electrical energy. Its symbol is ‘E’. The unit of electrical energy is kilowatt hours and its symbol is Kwh. If 1 kwh power is used in 1hour the energy consumed is 1 kilowatt hour. Or Board of Trade Unit ( B.O.T.V.)
Where,
Kwh = Kilowatt in units
E = E.m.f, in volt
I = Current in ampere
h = hour
Ex. 1 A motor running on 230-v mains is takes 35 amperes current, for period of 50 hours per week. If the cost of power is Rs. 4 per unit find the cost of running, this motor for 5 hours working.
= 402.5 units.
Bill = Kwh ´ Rate per unit
= 402.5 ´ Rs. 4
= Rs. 1610
