Options:

150 kWh

300 kWh

100 kWh

200 kWh

Correct Answer:

100 kWh

Explanation:

When some of the electrical appliances are used then the energy utilised is given by the product of the power of the appliances and the time period.

We have given the power of the electric heater : 1000 W = 1 kW

and the time period is 20 × 5 = 100 hr

Electrical energy = Power × Time

Electrical energy = 1 × 100

Electrical energy = 100 kWH
