(2006? An electric water heater has been newly installed in Jia Xiaoli. The nameplate of the electric water heater is shown in Figure A. If the temperature of tap water is 20℃ and it is full of water,

The current through (1) is I = Pu = 2000W220v ≈ 9.1a.

Answer: The current is 9.1a. ..

(2) The heat absorbed by water Q = cm (t-t0) = cρ V (t-t0) = 4.2×103j/kg? ℃× 1× 103kg/m3×40× 10-3 m3×(70℃-20℃)= 8.4× 106j。

So t = WP = 8.4×106j2000w = 4200s.

Answer: It takes 4200 s from turning on the power to turning off the indicator light.
