State two factors on which the electrical energy consumed by an electric appliance depends.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) The power rating of the appliance and the time for which it is used.
The electrical energy consumed by an electric appliance depends on two key factors:
1. Power rating of the appliance: This indicates the rate at which the appliance consumes energy, measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).
2. Time for which the appliance is used: The longer the appliance is used, the more energy it consumes, typically measured in hours.
The formula to calculate electrical energy consumed is:
Energy (kWh)=Power (kW)×Time (hours)
Information Booster:
· Power rating: It defines the amount of electrical energy consumed by an appliance per unit of time.
· Time: The duration for which the appliance is operated. The longer the appliance runs, the more energy it consumes.
· Electrical energy unit: It is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), also known as "units" of electricity in household billing.
· Power consumption: A high-power appliance consumes more energy in a given time compared to a low-power appliance.
