Atomic power station at Tarapore has a generating capacity of 200 MW. The energy generated in a day by this station is.

• A. 200 MW
• B. 200 J
• C. $4800 \times 10^{6}$J
• D. $1728 \times 10^{10}$J

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$1728 \times 10^{10}$J

Answer 2

Energy / day $= 200 \times 10^{6} \times 24 \times 3600$

$= 2 \times 2.4 \times 3.6 \times 10^{12} = 1728 \times 10^{10}J$
