Solution

The correct option is B 1840J
Answer is B.
Energy (power×time) is measured in Joules and by including time (t) in the power formulae, the energy dissipated by a component or circuit can be calculated.
Energy dissipated = Pt or VI×tasP=VI.
In this case, V = 230 V, I = 8 A and t = 1 second.
Therefore, the heat transferred P = 230 * 8 * 1 = 1840 Joules.
Hence, the energy is transferred to the heater each second is 1840 J.
