Physics 2009 JAMB Past Questions - Question 21: An electric heater rated 220 V, 1000W is immersed into a buket full of water . Calculate the mass of water if the temperature changes from 30°C to 100°C and the current flows for 300 seconds .
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
C
Explanation
Energy supplied bythe heater = heater gained by water
pt = MCAθ
1000 x 300 = m x 4200(100 - 30)
m = (1000 x 300)/4200 x 70 = 1.02 kg
