An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 20 cal of heat per second when an electric potential difference of 6 V is placed across its leads. What is the resistance in Ω

of the heater wire? (Note: 1 cal = 4.186 J)

Select one:
a. 0.86
b. 0.17
c. 0.29
d. 0.43

Atoaster oven has a resistive heating element. the average rate at which it dissipates energy as thermal energy is 1.00 \(\rm kw\). in the united states, emf amplitude in household circuits is \(\mathcal e_{\max}\) = 170 \({\rm \; v}\) and the \(\rm ac\) oscillation rate is 60 \(\rm hz\). part a what is the root-mean-square current through the heating element?
