    An electric kettle takes 4 A current a 1220V. How much time will it take to boil 1 kg of water from room temperature \[{{20}^{o}}C\]? (the temperature of boiling water is \[{{100}^{o}}C\])

    A)  12.6 min

    B)  12.8 min

    C)  6.3 min

    D)  6.4 min

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Heat required, \[Q=1000\times 1\times (100-20)\] \[=1000\times 80\]cal Heat produced in time t is, \[H=Vlt\] \[=220\times 4\times t\,\,J=\frac{220\times 4\times t}{4.18}cal\] \[\therefore \] \[=\frac{220\times 4\times t}{4.18}=100\times 80\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[t=\frac{1000\times 80}{4.18\times 220\times 4}=6.3\,\min \]
