Practicing Success
In an electric kettle water boils in 10 minutes. If it is required to boil the water in 15 minutes, using same supply mains, which of the following is correct ? |
length of heating element should be decreased length of heating element should be increased length of heating element has no effect on heating of water none of the above |
length of heating element should be increased |
heat, H = VI t = I2tR. Since mains supply is same, so V will be constant. Power rating is also constant. Increasing the length of the heating element will increase the resistance and hence, the water will boil slower. |
