In a household electric stove, designed for a voltage of 220 V, there are two spirals with a resistance of 55 Ohms. What is the electric power of the tile when one spiral is turned on; two spirals in succession; two spirals in parallel?
U = 220 V.
R = 55 ohms.
N -?
Npos -?
Npair -?
The current power N is determined by the formula: N = U ^ 2 / R, where U is the voltage at the ends of the spiral, R is the resistance of the spiral.
N = (220V) ^ 2/55 Ohm = 880 W.
When the conductors are connected in series, the total electric stove will be the sum: Rpos = R + R = 2 * R.
Npos = U ^ 2/2 * R.
Npos = (220 V) ^ 2/2 * 55 Ohm = 440 W.
With parallel connection of the spirals, the total resistance of the electric stove Rpair will be determined by the formula: Rpair = R * R / (R + R) = R / 2.
Npair = 2 * U ^ 2 / R.
Npair = 2 * (220 V) ^ 2/55 Ohm = 1760 Ohm.
Answer: N = 880 W, Npos = 440 W, Npar = 1760 Ohm.
