The heating element in a kettle behaves like a resistor. A particular kettle needs to operate at 230 V, with a power of 1500 W. Calculate the resistance which the heating element needs to have​

Answer:

R = 35.27 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230V

Power = 1500W

To find the resistance, R;

Power = V²/R

Where:

V is the voltage measured in volts.

R is the resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

1500 = 230²/R

Cross-multiplying, we have;

1500R = 52900

R = 52900/1500

R = 35.27 Ohms.

Therefore, the resistance which the heating element needs to have​ is 35.27 Ohms.
