the heating element of an electric cooker operates at 230.0V and carries a current 4.20 A. Assuming the watwr absorbs all the energy from the resistor, how much water (in kilograms) can it heat a room temperature of 23°C to the boiling point in 5 minutes? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kg°c)
