One heater uses 410 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 340 W of power when connected by itself to the same battery. How much total power do the heaters use when they are both connected in series across the battery?
One heater uses 309 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 222 W of power when connected by itself to the same battery. How much total power do the heaters use when they are both connected in series across the battery?
3. a) An electric water heater uses 5500 W (240 V) of electrical power. It has a capacity of 40 gallons (150 liters or 150 kg). If the initial temperature of the water in the water heater is 20° C, how long will it take to heat the water to a final temperature of 60° C at 100% efficiency? b) How long will it take to heat the water to a final temperature of 60°C at 80% efficiency? c)If electrical...
7a) Consider a room in a house that has composite walls with an Rtt-1.5 m2K/W. The total cross sectional area of the walls is 35 m During winter, the temperature outside the room is Tout5°C. Inside the room, there is an electric heater that emits heat at a rate of 200 W The room is occupied by 2 people that emit heat at a rate 80 W each. What is the temperature inside the room (in °C)? Express your answer...
1) An electric heater consumes electrical energy at a rate of P = 150 W when connected to a battery with an emf of 120 V. (a) What is the current in the heater? A (b) If you wish to increase the power consumption to 300 W, by what factor should the heater resistance be changed? Rfinal Rinitial = (c) What is the maximum power that could be drawn if the circuit contained a circuit breaker that limited the current...
In this problem, we consider replacing an existing electrical water heater with an array of solar panels. The net installed investment cost of the panels is $1,365 ($2,100 less a 35% tax credit from the government). Based on an energy audit, the existing water heater uses 180 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month, so at $0.13 per kWh, the cost of operating the water heater is $23.4 per month. Assuming the solar panels can save the entire cost of...
A heater dissipates 1200 W of power when it is connected to a 190 V battery. What current will flow through the heater when it is connected to the battery? What is R, the resistance of the heater? How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room that is 5.00 m × 8.00 m × 10.0 m by 10.0∘C? Note that the specific heat of air is 1006 J/(kg⋅∘C) and the density of...
