If I were to use a 3.5kw item for 3 minutes (assume domestic UK 230v) & the tariff is 28p/kWh - what would it cost?
...and how are the numbers processed to work it out?
Number crunching for electric nerds...

Wouldn’t that be 3.5kwh @ 28p =98p per hour,
so 3 mins would be 98/60 =1.63x3 = 4.89 pence ??
Probably wrong

Like you, Beth, I think I know... but, when it matters, best to check these things

Bloody standing charge on top is a massive add also.

Same as you Beth, the above is part of a power wall project I'm working on... trouble is, gas is bloody cheap compared to electric, so I'm looking at new technologies & trying to convert the costs too

this is correct.Wouldn’t that be 3.5kwh @ 28p =98p per hour,
so 3 mins would be 98/60 =1.63x3 = 4.89 pence ??
Probably wrong
slightly incorrect, but close enough, the result is 4.9p because 98/60 = 1.6333 recurring, so the annoying flaws of human math theory catch us out and give us disappearing decimals.
That has to be pre-price-hike.
