The electric iron has a power of 150 kW. The voltage in the circuit is 220V. Specify: a) Iron resistance;

The electric iron has a power of 150 kW. The voltage in the circuit is 220V. Specify: a) Iron resistance; b) Work done with electric current in 15 minutes.

Power of ANY electrical element – P = UI = U ^ 2 / R
For question (a), from this equation, we obtain that the iron resistance R = U ^ 2 / P = 220 * 220 / 150,000 Ohm
work A is equal to:
A = P * t = 150,000 * 60 * 15 J
