    An electric kettle takes 4 A current at 220 V. How much time will it take to boil 1 kg of water from temperature\[20{}^\circ C\]? The temperature of boiling water is\[100{}^\circ C\].

    A)  12.6 min        

    B)  4.2 min

    C)  6.3 min         

    D)  8.4 min  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Heat taken by water when its temperature changes from \[{{20}^{o}}C\]to \[{{100}^{o}}C\]is \[{{H}_{1}}=mc({{\theta }_{2}}-{{\theta }_{1}})=1000\times 1\times (100-20)cal\] \[=1000\times 80\times 4.2J\] Heat produced in time t due to current in resistor is \[{{H}_{2}}=Vit=220\times 4\times t\,J\] According to question, \[220\times 4\times t=1000\times 80\times 4.2\] or \[t=\frac{1000\times 80\times 4.2}{220\times 4}=381.8s=6.3\min \]
