A heating coil of 2000 watt is immersed in an electric kettle.how much time will it take in raising the temperature of 1 litre of water from 4 degree Celsius to 100 degree Celsius. only 80% part of the thermal energy produced is used in raising the temperature of water?


Dear Student,

P=2000 W, 1 litre from 4 degree to 100 degree .heat capacity =4.18 joule /gm heat require =4.18*1000*100-4=401280 Jheat given in one second =0.8*2000=1600 J time required=4012801600=250.8 sec Regards
