An electric kettle has a power rating of 2.4kW. How long does it take the kettle to heat up 4.5kg of tap water from 28°C to 100°C ? (c of water = 4200Jkg1°C-) What assumption must you make to arrive the answer ? pls helppp

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
