  1. ELECTRICITY

  2. Target audience: F.3 Basic knowledge: Unit of electricity Simple Calculation about Electricity

  3. Electrical Power • Unit of electricity • Kilowatt-hour meter • Main Circuit Content

  4. Power = Energy change / time unit of power: Watt (W) unit of energy: Joule (J) unit of time: second (s) 1W = 1Js-1 Electrical Power

  5. - The energy consumed in household appliances is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) Unit of Electricity - One kilowatt-hour is the amount of energy that is used by a 1000 W appliance in one hour.

  6. The total cost of electricity consumption in June 0.12 0.28 0.4 12 0.084 0.196 0.28 8.4 12.8 384 8.96 268.8

  8. Kilowatt-hour meter When the mains cable enters the home, it is connected through a fuse to a kilowatt-hour meter.

  9. Main Circuit Live wire (火線) This carries the alternating current to the appliance. Neutral wire (中線) This carries the alternating current to the appliance. Earth wire (地線) It connects the metal body of the appliance to the earth. If a live wire becomes loose and touches the metal body, a large current flows to earth. The person does not get an electric shock.
