Question

An electric Kettle is rated at 25 W. Calculate the quantity of heat generated in 2s

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy consumed by the electric kettle in 9.5 min =Pt=(2.5×10

3

)×(9.5×60)=14.25×10

5

J

Energy usefully consumed =msΔT=3×(4.2×10

3

)×(100−15)=10.71×10

5

where s=4.2J/g

o

C= specific heat of water and boiling point temp=100
