Time taken by a $836 \mathrm{~W}$ heater to heat one litre of water from $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is
  1. $50 \mathrm{~s}$
  2. $100 \mathrm{~s}$
  3. $150 \mathrm{~s}$
  4. $200 \mathrm{~s}$

Solution

Let $\mathrm{t}$ be the time taken, then $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{836 \times t}{4.2}=1000 \times 1 \times(40-10)[\text { using } Q=m s t] \\ & \Rightarrow t=150 \text { sec. } \end{aligned} $
