The current consumed by the DC motor from the 220 V network was 10 A for 15 minutes.

The current consumed by the DC motor from the 220 V network was 10 A for 15 minutes. Determine the energy consumed by the engine?

To find the energy consumed by the engine in use in 15 minutes, we apply the formula (Joule-Lenz law): Q = U * I * t.

Variable values: U – mains voltage (U = 220 V); I – consumed current (I = 10 A); t – duration of work (t = 15 min = 900 s).

Calculation: Q = U * I * t = 220 * 10 * 900 = 1.98 * 10 ^ 6 J = 1.98 MJ.

Answer: In 15 minutes, the engine used consumed 1.98 MJ of energy.
