An electric heater rated 220v, 1000 w is immersed into a bucket full of water, calculate the mass of water if the temperature changes from 30°c to 100°c and the current flows for 300seconds.
[specific heat capacity of water = 4200 jkg-1 K-1]

A.

4.28 kg

B.

42.86 kg

C.

1.02 kg

D.

7.14 kg

Correct answer is C

Energy supplied bythe heater = heater gained by water
pt = MCAθ
1000 x 300 = m x 4200(100 - 30)
m = (1000 x 300)/4200 x 70 = 1.02 kg
