Can you tell me how a home's electric meter works, in order to calculate my electricity usage?

An electrical meter measures the amount of electricity being used in a home or business. It works by monitoring the amount of electricity entering the building and then recording the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) used. An electrical meter has two moving parts - an indicator and a register. The indicator displays the total number of kilowatt-hours used, while the register serves as a tally of electricity usage. Typically, an electric meter is read each month by utility companies in order to calculate the cost of electricity used.
