medium

An electric kettle (rated accurately at $2.5\, kW$) is used to heat $3\, kg$ of water from $15\,^oC$ to boiling point. It takes $9.5$ minute. Then, the amount of heat that has been lost is

A

$3.5\times10^5\, J$

B

$7\times10^6\, J$

C

$3.5\times10^4\, J$

D

$7\times10^8\, J$

Solution

Energy consumed in $9.5$ min

$=2.5 \times 1000 \times 9.5 \times 60 \mathrm{J}$

$=1425000 \mathrm{J}$

Heat usefully consumed

$=3 \times 4.2 \times 1000 \mathrm{m} \times(100-15) \mathrm{joule}$

$=1071000$ joule

Loss $=3.5 \times 10^{5}$ joule
