An electric kettle has two coils of different power. When one coil is switched on, it takes 30 minutes to boil a certain amount of water and when second coil is switched on, it takes 45 minutes to boil same amount of water. Then

Answer»

It takes 150 minutes to boil same amount of water when both the coils are used in series combination.
It takes 75 minutes to boil same amount of water when both the coils are used in series combination.
It takes 18 minutes to boil same amount of water when both the COIL are used in parallel combination.
It takes 25 minutes to boil same amount of water when both the coils are used in parallel combination

Solution :`H_(1)=(V^(2))/(R_(1))(30xx60), H_(2)=(V^(2))/(R^(2)) (45xx60)`
`H_(1)=H_(2)implies30/(R_(1))=45/(R_(2))implies3R_(1)=2R_(2)`
`H_("series')=(V^(2))/((R_(1)+R_(2))) t_(s)=(V^(2))/((R_(1)+3/2R_(1))) t_(s)=H_(1)=(V^(2))/(R_(1))(30xx60)`
`implies t_(s)=(30xx60)5/2 =75` min
`H_(P)=((V^(2))/(R_(1))+(V^(2))/(R^(2)))t_(P)+((V^(2))/(R_(1))+(2V^(2))/(3R_(1)))t_(P)`
`implies(5V^(2))/(3R_(1)) t_(P)=(V^(2))/(R_(1))(30xx60)`
`t_(P)=(3xx30xx60)/5=18` min
