Energy Consumption Dr. Farid Farahmand

Cost of one KWatt-hour

How Much Energy Do we Use? Total Energy Consumption of the World in 2010: 15 x 10^12 Watts! = 15 TWatt Most of this comes form fossil fuel (coming from remain of plants and animals): Oil Coal Gas  CO2 Emission  Climate Change!

Energy Usage

U.S. household energy

Power Consumption of Different Appliances

W-Hour Continuous Use

Alternative Sources of Energy

Where does energy come from?

Solar Power Sun provides abundance of energy that can be used for different applications: Solar Heating Solar Cooling Solar Cooking Solar Electricity

Converting Solar Energy to Electricity

The output current of this reaction is DC (direct) and the amount of energy produced is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight put in. Cells only have an average efficiency of 8-30%

How to Read Your Electric Bill Calculating Your Footprint: How much greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is generated to produce the required amount o of energy.

Question I'm trying to determine how many amps I'm putting on a circuit so I don't overload it, but I'm having a hard time understanding the labels. For instance, my DSL modem adapter says "INPUT: 120V 60Hz 30W" and "OUTPUT: 12VAC 1.67A" I understand how to convert watts to amps [Watts / Voltage = Amps], so it looks like in this case the input (30 watts or.25 amps) is less than output (200.4 watts or 1.67 amps). What am I missing? The output is 12V x 1.67A = 20W, which is less than the 30W input. Output is always less than input, because the conversion process is inefficient.
