What work did the electric current do in 10 minutes of operation of a 500 W boiler when heating water?

Data: t (duration of the boiler operation) = 10 min (600 s); N (power of the boiler taken) = 500 watts.

The work done by the electric current will be equal to the product of the power of the boiler and the time of its operation: A = N * t.

Let’s calculate: A = 500 * 600 = 300000 J or 300 kJ.

Answer: The useful work of the electric current was 300 kJ.
