An electric heater is madde of a wire of resistance 100π and connected to a 240v mains supply. Determine the power rating of the
1 answer:
Answer:
Power = 576 Watts
Explanation:
The electrical power of an electric circuit can be defined as a measure of the rate at which energy is either produced or absorbed in the circuit.
Mathematically, electrical power is given by the formula;
This ultimately implies that, the quantity (current times voltage ) is electrical power and it is measured (S.I units) in Watt (W).
Given the following data;
Resistance = 100 ohms
Voltage = 240 V
To find the power rating of the heater;
Power = V²/R
Where;
V is the voltage.
R is the resistance.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Power = 240²/100
Power = 57600/100
Power = 576 Watts

At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch. This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity. Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed. The energy of compression is
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length
