Practicing Success
It takes 16 min to boil some water in an electric kettle. Due to some defect it becomes necessary to remove 10% turns of heating coil of the kettle. After repairs, how much time will it take to boil the same mass of water ? |
17.7 min 14.4 min 20.9 min 13.9 min |
14.4 min |
We have $\frac{V^2}{R} \times 16=H$ [∵ H = P × t] $\frac{V^2}{0.9 R} \times t=H \Rightarrow \frac{V^2}{R} \times 16=\frac{V^2}{0.9 R} \times t$ Time, t = 16 × 0.9 = 14.4 min |
