hour as a measure OF electricity

bushel. coal by the ton and water and
gas are usually sold by the thousands
OF cubic feet used each month. as de-
termined by = meter. The CORE
spending unit for electrical energy Is
the kilowat;-hour The kilowatt-hour.
therefore. includes in one unit OF
measurement. the amount OF electrical
energy used. For example. ii Is
watt lamp is burned forty hours, the
electrical meter will register 25 times
40. or 1000 watt hours. In a sim
liar manner. a 500-wait electric iron
which in use for two hours would
cause a meter to register 1000 watt
hours, or a kilovatt-hour. The num-
Der of kilowatts used during the I
month. multiplied by the rate per kilo-
watt determines the amount to be
paid.
