An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is adjusted at ‘minimum heating' it consumes a power of 360 W but at 'maximum heating’ it takes a power of 840 W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.
Three heaters each rated 250 W, 100 V are connected in parallel to a 100 V supply. Calculate:
- the total current taken from the supply
- the resistance of each heater and
- the energy supplied in kWh to the three heaters in 5 hours.
