Which uses more energy, a 250 W TV set in 1 hr, or a 1200 W toaster in 10 minutes?

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
= 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.
Energy consumed by an electrical appliance is given by H = Pt
For the TV set: Power P = 250 W and time t = 1 hour = 3600 seconds
So, energy consumed H = 250 × 3600 = 900000 J
For the toaster: Power P = 1200 W and time t = 10 minutes = 600 seconds
So, energy consumed H = 1200 × 600 = 720000 J
Hence, TV set uses more energy than toaster.
