Water of mass 1.5kg is heated from from 30^oC to 80^oC using an electric kettle which is rated 5A, 230V. Calculate the time taken to reach the final destination [specific heat capacity of water 4200Jkg^-1K^-1]

4.57 minutes

5.02 minutes

7.30 minutes

10.04 minutes

Correct answer is A

t = \(\frac{MC\theta}{2} = \frac{1.5 \times 4200 \times 50}{5 \times 230}\)

= 273.91s or 4.57 mins
