An electric teakettle has a multi position switch and two heating coils. When only one of the coils is switched on, the well-insulated kettle brings a full pot of water to a boil over the time interval ?t. When only the other coil is switched on, it requires a time interval of 2?t to boil the same amount of water. Find the time interval required to boil the same amount of water if both coils are switched on (a) in a parallel connection and (b) in a series connection.
