AMP na naman /heh

….continued

kilowatt-hour, took me some time to ponder how to remove the hour in the equation. If not for Tina, I woudnt get the formula to solve my problem.

To understand better, lets examine how our Meralco compute for our electric bill. A typical example would be a Flat iron that has 700watts rating. So the formula is:

[Power * hour ] / 1000 = kilowatt-hour

so, the only variable is the hour, if we use our flat iron for a duration of 4hours, thus the usage will be.

[(700 * 4) = 2800 / 1000] = 2.8 Kilowatt-hour!

Ding, that rings the bell… so to calculate for my AMP!!! all I need to do is to reverse the order.

(Power * Hour) / 1000 = Kilowatt-hour
Power * Hour = Kilowatt-hour * 1000
Power = (Kilowatt-hour * 1000) / Hour

Therefore:

AMP = Power / Voltage (220)

Problem solved ! ! ! !

Actually… this problem wouldnt be a big one if only I had look for the right resource.

Go ahead, try to compute your Meralco bill using your refrigerator as a basis and check how much it consumes per month.
