2kg of water is heated with a heating coil which draws 3.5A on a 200V mains for 2 minutes. What is the increase in temperature of the water? [Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 Jkg-1K-1]
- A. 25 C
- B. 15 C
- C. 10 CCorrect
- D. 30 C
Explanation
Electrical energy = Heat energy: IVt = mc(delta theta). Delta theta = (3.5x200x2x60)/(2x4200) = 10 C.
