Phantom Load Experimental Flaw
A student conducted an experiment to measure the impact of phantom loads by unplugging all appliances in a home. After observing no decrease in the subsequent monthly electric bill, the student concluded that phantom loads do not exist. Which of the following identifies a flaw in the student’s reasoning?
They should have concluded that phantom loads are the only factor contributing to the electric bill.
They failed to consider other factors that contribute to the electric bill, such as heating and cooling, which are not related to phantom loads.
They should have measured the energy consumption of each appliance individually.
They correctly concluded that phantom loads do not significantly impact the electric bill.
