The heating element on an electric iron has a resistance of 24 ohm and draws a current of 5.0 A. How much work is done if the iron is used for 45 minutes?

1620000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Resistance  = 24ohm

Current  = 5A

Time  = 45min

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Electrical work done is given as the product of power with time;

  Electrical work done  = power x time

     Power  = I²R

 Electrical work done  = I²R x time

Convert the given time to seconds;

          1min  = 60s

          45 min  = 45 x 60  = 2700s

Now,

  Work done  = 5² x 24 x 2700 = 1620000J

when the use of electricity burdens the fuse and miniarure circuit beakers and there is a possibility of a fuse then they automatically cut off the electricity supply to your homes and after you fix the problem u jzt switch it on and it continues the supply of electricity to ur homes
