A stand-by generator is connected to fifteen 40 W lamps and musician's 600 W amplifying system. How much energy is used if the generator runs for 6 hours?
3.84k Wh
7.20k Wh
8.40k Wh
12.00k Wh
14.56k Wh

Explanation

Total power = (15 x 40) + 600

= 1200 watts

Energy(kWh) = \(\frac{1200}{1000}\) x 6

= 7.2 kwH
