The correct answer is 1 KWh.
Concept:
Electric bulb: It is an electric device that converts electric energy into heat and light energy.
Resistance of the bulb
R=(Ratedvoltage)2(Ratedpower)
If we consider the bulb as a resistor then, we can easily find the current and voltage drops.
Powerconsumed=i2R
Power consumed ∝ Brightness
The rate of work done by the electric current is called as electric power.
The difference of potential between two points is called a potential difference.
Electric energy (E) = electric power (P) × time (t)
Unit of electric energy = unit of electric power × unit of time = kilowatt × hour = kilowatt-hour
Key Points Given that
Power of the bulb = 100 W
Time = 10 hours We know that,
Energy = Power × Time
⇒ Energy consume = 100 w × 10 hrs = 1000 watt - hr = 1 KWh.

The electric energy consumed in 10 days would be 10 watts x 10 hours/day x 10 days = 1000 watt hours or 1 kilowatt hour.

Electrical Energy consumption is practically in many countries around the world measured in Kilowatt-hours or kWh.
10 hours for 10 days with power rating of 10W
Electrical Energy = 10 Watts ☓ 10 hours ☓ 10 days
Electrical Energy = 1000 Watt-hours
Electrical Energy = 1 kWh
Therefore from your question, the bulb will consume one unit ( 1 kWh) of electrical energy measured in kWh assuming no other resistive loses through the connection wires.

Try it if you had not replaced the old fashioned incandescent bulb with a modern LED bulb. The old bulb would draw 60 watts instead of 10 watts. See how much you saved by switching to LED bulbs? You may have saved a pound of coal.

Are LED bulbs energy efficient?
Well despite what all the other answers are saying, in absolute terms NO, current LED bulbs are not particularly efficient. If a white light was 100% efficient, it would generate around 250 Lumens (depending on the colour temperature) for each watt of power used. However few of today’s LED bulbs that are generally available exceed 100 Lumens per watt, and many are significantly worse than this. So generally you’re not going to get better than 40% efficiency.
Within the last year or so there have been white LED bulbs in the laboratory that achieve more than 200 Lumens per watt. These are some wa

How many units does a 9-watt LED bulb consume if switched on continuously for 24 hours in one month?
If you switch on a 9 —watt LED bulb continuously for a period of 24 hours, the consumption of energy will be 9 ×24 =216 watts, and for a month of 30 days it will be 216 ×30 =6480 watts or 6.48 kwh is the total consumption for a month and it will be 6.48 units, because 1 kwh is equal to one unit. And if your electricity board charges at Rupees 4 per unit then it will be 6.48 ×4 =25.92, the total power consumption charges will be Rupees 25.92 paise for your LED bulb of 9 watts plus electricity duty and service charge extra and it will be varied from state to state electricity boards in India.

kW vs. kWh: How much energy is my lighting using? [Calculator]

How much energy does a light bulb use, and how does lighting affect your electricity bill? How much will a lighting retrofit save you? How do you begin to estimate the value of a potential lighting rebate?
How does lighting affect your electricity bill? How much will a lighting retrofit save you? How do you begin to estimate the value of a potential lighting rebate?
There’s one common thread that runs through each of these questions: the difference between watts (W), kilowatts (kW), and kilowatt-hours (kWh). Calculating watts to kWh could help you understand the answers to the questions above.
The energy industry is almost as bad as the lighting industry at using abbreviations and jargon, so we’ll try to break each of these down with some practical examples.
In this article, I’m going to use the analogy of equating electricity to water. This is a common analogy that we can’t claim as our own, but hopefully our specific examples will help explain how much energy lighting really uses.
If you already know the difference between kW and kWh, click here to jump ahead to the calculator.
What is a watt (W)?
You’ve probably made a lot of lighting decisions based on wattage. You unscrew a burned out light bulb and look at the top and see “60W.” All you have is a light bulb labeled “25W,” so you screw it in, and to your dismay, it’s way too dim. You go to the store and pick out a “60W” bulb. Your lights are bright again. Crisis averted.
So what is a watt, anyway? Technically speaking, it's a unit of electrical power equal to 1 joule per second. Light bulbs are rated in watts to indicate how much energy they consume.
Does the wattage of a light bulb have anything to do with brightness? Well, sort of.
For so long, many of us have associated watts with the amount of light a bulb gives off. In general, that works well with traditional incandescent light bulbs. A 60W incandescent bulb typically gives off around 650-800 lumens. A 25W incandescent bulb typically produces around 150 lumens — much less light.
With the introduction of more efficient lighting, though, it’s not uncommon to see a “60W equivalent” bulb that uses far less energy and gives off roughly the same amount of light. Here’s a breakdown:
Incandescent Halogen CFL LED
(The photos above are representative of the technology, not specific product specifications.)
So, as you are comparing light bulbs, remember that wattage is a measure of how much energy the light bulb will use as it produces light, and the lumens will give you a measure of how much light it will produce.

What is a kilowatt (kW)?
Just like watts, kilowatts is a measure of how much energy something will consume. Going from watts (W) to kilowatts (kW) is a pretty straightforward calculation: 1kW is equal to 1,000W. To convert W to kW, divide the total wattage by 1,000.
Here’s an example: if you turned on ten 100W light bulbs, that would equal 1kW of energy usage.
10 bulbs x 100W = 1,000W
1,000W / 1,000 = 1kW
It’s also worth noting that kW can be synonymous with “demand” if you’re talking to a utility company. Imagine that you turn on those ten light bulbs and a 3,000-watt clothes dryer at the same time. The utility company needs to be able to supply enough electricity to meet that 4kW of demand at the moment you turn everything on.
Your energy usage, though, depends on how long you keep everything on, which leads us to…
What is a kilowatt-hour (kWh)?
What’s the difference between kW and kWh? The kWh measurement is a way to quantify how much energy is used over a period of time. This can be calculated by multiplying the kW of energy consumption by the total number of hours the lighting has been operated.
Let’s go back to the example of having ten 100W light bulbs. How much energy would you use of the course of a month if you turn them on for 10 hours a day?
That’s where kWh comes into play. Here’s the breakdown:
10 bulbs X 100W = 1,000W or 1kW of lighting
10 hours of daily use X 30 days in the month = 300 hours of use
1kW X 300 hours of use = 300kWh of energy consumption
So why is kWh so important if you can compare lighting products based on wattage and light output? In the end, a significant portion of your electricity bill is based on your energy consumption in kilowatt-hours. If you want to calculate the dollar savings you’ll get from a retrofit to more efficient lighting, kWh will come into play.
Guys, does anyone know the answer?
