Answer» Answer: Electricity, or rather electrical energy costs MONEY. We pay for it when we buy a battery and we pay the electricity BOARD for the electricity that we USE from the mains. The average electricity bill for a house in a year would probably be about £500, although this very much depends on how the house is heated. The electricity board measures the electrical energy that we use not in joules but in UNITS CALLED KILOWATT-HOURS A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the energy that a one kilowatt appliance uses in one hour One kilowatt hour = 1000 W x 3600 s = 1000 x 3600 = 3 600 000 J |
