Solution

First, we need to calculate the power of the heater. Power (P) is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) by the current (I).

P = V * I P = 110V * 20A P = 2200W

Since power is usually measured in kilowatts (kW) for the purpose of calculating electricity costs, we need to convert this to kW.

1 kW = 1000 W, so 2200 W = 2.2 kW

Next, we need to calculate the total energy consumed by the heater in 10 hours. Energy (E) is calculated by multiplying power (P) by time (t).

E = P * t E = 2.2 kW * 10 hours E = 22 kWh

Finally, we can calculate the cost of running the heater for 10 hours. The cost (C) is calculated by multiplying the energy (E) by the cost per kilowatt hour.

C = E * cost per kWh C = 22 kWh * 0.20/kWhC=0.20/kWh C = 4.40

So, the cost of running the heater for 10 hours is $4.40.
