An immersion heater rated 1.5 Kw is used to heat 10 kg of water.calculate the time taken in raising the tempeatureof water by 32 degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg degree celsius.

Heat energy required to raise the temperature of water:E=mct   =10×4200×32   =1.344×106 JTime taken:t=EP =1.344×1061.5×103 =896 s =89660  min =14.9 minutes
