Hi everyone,
I'm Brit living in Texas...
This is my first post on here, hope to be a regular member!!!!!
I have a project that I want to start soon, but this depends on the answer to my question now............
Ok, lets say you plug in your phone to recharge and it takes 2 hours. Lets say the adaptor says 7volts on it (meaning it reduces the voltage from 110 volts to 7 volts which is what the phone needs to recharge)
Does that mean that for those 2 hours the electricity company will charge me for 2 hours of 110 volts or 2 hours of 7volts?
The reason I ask is that in December we put up all the pretty Christmas lights, and every year the December electric bill is enormous.
All the pretty lights are usually small voltages etc and often come with an adaptor. If the adaptor is for 12 volts, or 14v for example, does that mean for the entire month I'm paying for 110volts (even though I'm "using only 12v") for each night of turning on those lights, or is it because 12volts for each day will add up to a lot of money?
Or do I pay for only 12v and it adds up to a big bill...
Hope you get the point of my question!!!!
Have a super day...
Regards,
Steve
