I just received my electric bill! It was almost 2 times the USE and COST as the last one!!!
I know not what the CURRENT flow in volts are in other communities, but here it has stayed at a fairly constant 80-90 volts for the ppast month or so. If I remember Ohms Law correctly, where the voltage is low, then it taked up to 2 times the amps to deliver the same wattage as it would with normal(115 volts) voltage. Since consumption is based on Kilowatts, it stands to reason that the same usage (of lights, fridge, freezers, air conditioners, etc.) will result in twice the number of kilowatts used.
Am I correct??
If I am, then the electric companies have found a way to increase their income through out and out fraud by delivering less voltage and causing higher consumption to show up on the meters.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Electricity in Physics was not a subject I was extremely interested in and I didn't learn it well.
