An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water

Reference no: EM13652981

An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water consists of a 15-Ω coil that is immersed directly in the water. Itoperates from a 120-V socket. How much times is required for thsiheater to raise the temperature of 0.5 kg of water from 13degrees Celcius to the normal boiling point?
