An electric kettle connected to the 230 V mains supply draws a current of 10 A. Calculate:
(a) the power of the kettle.
(b) the energy transferred in 1 minute.
(a) Here, V = 230V, I = 10amp
We know that, P = VI
P = 230X10
P = 2300watt = 2300 J/s
(b) The energy transferred in 1 minute. = P x t = 2300 J/s x 60s = 138000 J
