Question
An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 20 cal of heat
per second when an electric potential difference of 6 V is placed across its leads. What is the resistance in Ω
of the heater wire? (Note: 1 cal = 4.186 J)
Select one:
a. 0.86
b. 0.17
c. 0.29
d. 0.43

Answer:
1 cal/s =4.184w
p=50 cal/s =2093w
v=12v
P = V*I
I =P/V
I = 17.43 A
P =1²*R
R = P/I²
R = 0.68
The answer is C ……..
