A student calculates the amount of energy used by an electric heater. What is the equation for calculating the energy E in kWh?

AE = I (ampere) × V (volt) × t (second)
BE = I (ampere) × V (volt) × t (hour)
CE = I (ampere) × V (volt) × t (second) ÷ 1000
DE = I (ampere) × V (volt) × t (hour) ÷ 1000

✓ Correct answer

D: E = I (ampere) × V (volt) × t (hour) ÷ 1000
