When the room temperature is 25^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C, an electric kettle used for preparing tea takes minutes to boil cups of water (where cup contains of water). Given that the \cos t of power consumption is Re per unit ( unit watt-hour), determine the \cos t of boiling cups of water if the room temperature drops to 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Total volume of water .
Mass of water, .
Specific heat capacity of water, s = 4200 \text{ J kg}^{-1} ^{}^{{}^{\circ}}\textC^{-1}.
At an initial room temperature of 25^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, the heat required to boil the water (100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}) is:
The kettle takes () to boil this water. The power of the kettle is:
When the room temperature drops to 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, the new heat required to boil the water is:
The time taken to boil the water at 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is:
The electrical energy consumed in this process (in or units) is:
Given the \cos t of power is () per unit, the total \cos t is:
\text{\cos t} = 0.08867 \times 100 \text{ paise} = 8.867 \text{ paise}
Rounding to the nearest integer, the \cos t is .
