The 120 V electric heater in a coffee maker has a resistance of 15 Ω. How long will it take for this heater to raise 5 cups (1100 g) of water from 20°C to the ideal brewing temperature of 90°C?
An experimenter accidentally touches a 240 V dc line. If his skin resistance is 10 000 Ω, what value of current flows through his body? Is this dangerous?
Given that V= J/A-s and 1 Kwh = 3.6 x106 J, what does it cost to operate a window-type air conditioning for one hour if the unit requires a 10-Amp current at 110V and electric energy costs 5 cents per Kwh?
Compute the cost at 5.0 cents/Kwh of operating an electric motor that takes 15 Amp at 110V.
