Current Electricity 3 Question 1

1. One kilogram of water at 20C is heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of 20Ω. The rms voltage in the mains is 200V. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, time taken for water to evaporate fully, is close to

[Specific heat of water =4200J/(kgC), Latent heat of water =2260kJ/kg ]

(a) 16min

(b) 22min

(c) 3min

(d) 10min

Solution:

  1. Heat required by water for getting hot and then evaporated is

ΔQ=msΔT+mL

Here, m=1kg,ΔT=10020=80C,

s=4200Jkg1C1,L=2260×103Jkg1

So, heat required is

ΔQ=1×4200×80+1×2260×103=336×103+2260×103=2596×103J

This heat is provided by a heating coil of resistance R=20Ω connected with AC mains Vrms =200V

So, heat supplied by heater coil is

Q=Pt=Vrms2R×t

where, P= power and t= time.

=(200)220×t=2×103×t

Substituting the value of heat from Eq. (ii), we get

t=2956×1032×103s=29562×60min=24.63min

Nearest answer is 22min.
