How does the heating element of a portable electric heater work

Physics

The heating element of an electric heater works following the Joule's effect. In fact, the main component of the heating element is a resistor. When the heater is connected to the plug, electrical current starts flowing through the resistor. Because of the Joule's effect, the temperature of the resistor increases: therefore, the resistor gets hotter and releases heat to the surroundings.

The element is a resistor, so some of the electrical energy flowing through the heating element is converted to thermal energy.

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum
skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.
