Key Stage 3

Meaning

An electrical appliance is anything that needs electricity to work.

About Electrical Appliances

Electrical appliances often have a plug to use the Mains Electricity.
Some electrical appliances use electrical cells to power them.

Power Ratings

The Power ratings of some electrical appliances.

Energy Usage of Appliances

The amount of energy an appliance uses depends on the power rating and how long the appliance is used for.
Energy usage for appliances is measured in kilowatt-hours. This means all power ratings need to be in kilowatts and time should be in hours.
Energy can be calculated with the equation: Energy = Power x time
The Power ratings of some electrical appliances.
Filament Bulb

A 60Watt filament bulb may be used for 8 hours a day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Energy Saving Bulb

A 25Watt energy saving bulb may be used for 8 hours a day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Kettle

A 2000Watt kettle may be used for 30 minutes a day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Power = 60W = 0.060kW
Time = 8 hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 0.060 x 8
Energy = 0.48kilowatt-hours
Power = 25W = 0.025kW
Time = 8 hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 0.025 x 8
Energy = 0.20kilowatt-hours
Power = 2000W = 2.0kW
Time = 30 minutes = 0.5hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 2.0 x 0.5
Energy = 1.0kilowatt-hours
Television

A 250Watt television is left on for 3 hours each day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Refrigerator

A 200Watt refrigerator is on for 24 hours each day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Oven

A 2500Watt oven is used for 45 minutes each day. Calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours.

Power = 250W = 0.25kW
Time = 3 hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 0.25 x 3
Energy = 0.75kilowatt-hours
Power = 200W = 0.20kW
Time = 24 hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 0.20 x 24
Energy = 4.8kilowatt-hours
Power = 2500W = 2.5kW
Time = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours
Energy = Power x time
Energy = 2.5 x 0.75
Energy = 1.875kilowatt-hours

Key Stage 4

Meaning

An electrical appliance is any device that needs electricity to work.

About Electrical Appliances

Electrical appliances often have a plug to use the Mains Electricity.
Some electrical appliances use electrical cells to power them.

Energy Transfers

Energy is always transferred to the appliances by electricity.
