An electric heater is madde of a wire of resistance 100π and connected to a 240v mains supply. Determine the power rating of the heater​

Power = 576 Watts

Explanation:

The electrical power of an electric circuit can be defined as a measure of the rate at which energy is either produced or absorbed in the circuit.

Mathematically, electrical power is given by the formula;

This ultimately implies that, the quantity (current times voltage ) is electrical power and it is measured (S.I units) in Watt (W).

Given the following data;

Resistance = 100 ohms

Voltage = 240 V

To find the power rating of the heater;

Power = V²/R

Where;

V is the voltage.

R is the resistance.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Power = 240²/100

Power = 57600/100

Power = 576 Watts
