Question
An electric kettle rated at 220 V, 2.2 kW, works for 3 hours. Find the energy consumed and the current drawn.

Solution
Given:
V = 220 V
P = 2.2 kW = 2.2 x 103 w
t = 3 h
Electrical energy, E = P x t
= 2.2 kW x 3 h
= 6.6 kWh
Current drawn, I = P/V
= `2.2x10^3/220`
= 10 A

Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.
| Student | Object | Mass of Object before Rusting in g |
