What electric charge passed through the spiral of an electric stove connected to the network in 10 minutes
What electric charge passed through the spiral of an electric stove connected to the network in 10 minutes, if the power of the tile is 440 W and the voltage of the network is 220 V?
t = 10 min = 600 s.
N = 440 W.
U = 220 V.
q -?
The strength of the current I is the ratio of the charge q, which passes through the cross section of the conductor per unit time t: I = q / t.
q = I * t.
The current power in the spiral of the electric stove is expressed by the formula: N = I * U, where I is the current in the spiral, U is the voltage.
I = N / U.
We express the amount of charge q by the formula: q = N * t / U.
Let’s substitute the data from the problem statement: q = 440 W * 600 s / 220 V = 1200 Cl.
Answer: a charge of q = 1200 C passed through the spiral of an electric hotplate.
