A heating coil rated 1000 W is used to boil off completely 2 kg of boiling water. The time required to boil  the water is?

[Special latent heat of Vaporization of water = 2.3 x 10\(^6\) Jkg-1]
1.15 x 104s
1.15 x 103s
4.6 x 104s
4.6 x 103s

Explanation

Heat supplied = Heat gained
pt = ml
T = \(\frac{ml}{p}\)

= \(\frac{2 \times 2.3 \times 10^6}{1000}\)

= 4.6 x 10\(^3\) sec
