an electric heater of resistance 8 draws 15C of charge per second. Suppose this happens for a period of 2 hours, calculate the rate at which hear is developed in the heater
Open in App
Solution
Here Given that Resistance of the electric heater (R) = 8 Ω
Current drawn (I) = 15 A
We know that P = I2R
= 15×15×8
= 1800w or J/s
∴ Heat is produced by the heater at the rate of 1800 J/s.
