An electric water heater has a rating of 1 kW,230 V. The coil used as theheating element is 10m long and has a resistivity of 1.724 x 10^-6 ohm-cm. Determine the required diameter of the wire in mils?
the answer is 2.52 mils (according to ECE board exam answer keys) I don't know how to get it. Can you show me?
The equivalent power (watts) of three (3) tons of cooling is?
A heater uses 20 A when connected to a 220-V line. If electric power costs 10 centavos per kilowatt-hour, the cost of running the heater for 10 hours is
