The recovery time of a hot water heater is the time required to heat all the water in the unit to the desired temperature. Suppose that a 20-gallon (1.00 gal = 3.79 x 10-3 m3) unit starts with water at 14 °C and delivers hot water at 55 °C. The unit is electric and uses a resistance heater (120 V AC, 3.4 Ω) to heat the water. If water has a specific heat capacity of 4186 J/(kg°C) and a density of 1000 kg/m3, and assuming that no heat is lost to the environment, what is the recovery time of this hot water heater?
A circuit loop containing an external resistor of value R = 25.0 (ohms) is connected to a real battery with an internal emf = 20.0 V that has an internal resistance of R = 1.50 (ohms).
