Q4: The heater element of an electric kettle has a constant resistance of 120 n and the applied voltage is 220 V. Calculate the time taken to raise the temperature of one liter of water from 15°C to 90°C assuming that 78% of the power input to the kettle is usefully employed. If the water equivalent of the kettle is 100 g, find how long will it take to raise a second liter of water through the same temperature range immediately after the first.
