An electric kettle takes 4 A current at 220 V. How much time will it take to boil 1 kg of water from temperature 20oC ? The temperature of boiling water is 100oC
- A12.6 min
- B4.2 min
- C6.3 min
- D8.4 min
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Power = 220 V × 4 A = 880 watts. = 880 J/s.
Heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg water through 80°C
= ms.T × 4.2 J/cal
= 1000 g × 1 cal/g × 80 × 4.2 J/cal.
Time taken =
= 382 s = 6.3 min.
