Modern day generators produce electric power as high as 500 MW. How many 100 watt bulb can one lit with this generator?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how many 100-watt bulbs can be lit with a generator that produces 500 megawatts of power, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the generator's power from megawatts to watts. The power produced by the generator is given as 500 megawatts (MW). We know that: 1 megawatt = \(10^6\) watts. So, we can convert 500 megawatts to watts: \[ ...
