An electric kettle connected to the 230 V mains supply draws a current of 10 A. Calculate :
(a) the power of the kettle.
(b) the energy transferred in 1 minute.
Here,
V = 230 volt
I = 10 Ampere
We have
P = V×I
= 230×10 = 2300 W
Now we have the electric kettle transferring 2300 Joule of energy per second.
Energy transferred in 1 min = 2300×60 J
=138000 J
