The cost of boiling 500cm3 of water using the 3kW kettle is 1.35 P.
The cost is calculated as follows;
1 unit = 9p /kWh
Total energy consumed by 3 kW kettle, E = P x t
where;
E = 3 kW x (3 mins/60 mins/hr)
E = 0.15 kWh
Energy cost = 9 p/kWh x 0.15 kWh = 1.35 P
Thus, the cost of boiling 500cm3 of water using the 3kW kettle is 1.35 P.
