    A heater of 220 V boils a volume of water in 5 mninute time. If the heater is operated at 110 V, the same volume of water will boil in

    A)  5 min                   

    B)         8 mm

    C)  10 min                                 

    D)  20 min  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[P\propto {{V}^{2}}\] Since the applied voltage is half the rated value the power becomes\[\frac{1}{4}th\]. Further, since\[P=\frac{H}{t}\], so the time taken to produce same heat will become four times.
