At what rate per hour does a 1 kW heater convert electrical energy into heat?(a) 3.5 MJ(b) 2.5 MJ(c) 3.6 MJ(d) 2.6 MJI got this question in exam.This question is from Basic Energy Concepts in division Energy Balance of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) 3.6 MJ

For explanation I would say: ENERGY = power x time

1 kW is 1,000 watts

Since 1 WATT is 1 joule PER sec

1,000 watts is 1,000 joules per sec

In one hour there are 3,600 seconds

Substituting in the equation energy = 1,000 x 3,600 joules

= 3,600,000 joules

= 3.6 MJ

Therefore a 1 kW heater converts 3.6 MJ of electrical energy into heat per hour.
