Vedclass · Answer

(B) The average monthly electricity consumption of an Indian household is approximately $150 \ kWh$ to $200 \ kWh$.Taking an average of $180 \ kWh$ per month:$1 \ kWh = 3.6 	imes 10^6 \ J$.Total energy per month = $180 	imes 3.6 	imes 10^6 \ J = 6.48 	imes 10^8 \ J$.Number of seconds in a month (assuming $30$ days) = $30 	imes 24 	imes 60 	imes 60 = 2,592,000 \ s$.Energy per second = $\frac{6.48 	imes 10^8}{2.592 	imes 10^6} \approx 250 \ J$.Considering variations in household appliances and usage,the value is closest to $500 \ J$ in the given options.
