Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: 120 J
Concept:

Electrical energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the power rating by the operational time in standard units.

Formula:

$$ E = P \times t $$

Solution:

  • Power (\( P \)) = 60 W (Joules per second)


  • Time (\( t \)) = 2 s


  • Energy \( E = 60 \text{ J/s} \times 2 \text{ s} = 120 \text{ Joules} \)


Why other options are incorrect:

Dividing power by time yields 30 J (Option B). Forgetting to multiply by 2 gives 60 J (Option C).
