An electric kettle of 2000 Wis used to boil 20 litres of water. Find the time required to boil to the water from its initial temperature of 20^(@)C. (Take specific heat of water as 4200 Jkg^(-1) K^(-1).Density of water = 1000kg m^(-3)) |

Answer» Solution :(i) Power `P = E/t` Energysupplied by the electrickattle is used to increase the TEMPERATURE of 20 litres of water from `20^(@)C`to `100^(@)C`. But HEAT energy `Q = msDeltatheta`. Calculate the heat energy absorbed by the water. Substituting the value of energy and power in equation (1) we can determine the time. (ii) 56 minutes |
