A electric iron consumes energy at the rate of
(a) `840 W` when heating is at the maximum rate and
(b) `360 W` when the heating is at the minimum.
The voltage is `220 V`. What are the current and the resistance in each case ?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the current and resistance of the electric iron in two different heating conditions: maximum and minimum power consumption. ### Given Data: - Maximum Power (P1) = 840 W - Minimum Power (P2) = 360 W - Voltage (V) = 220 V ### Step 1: Calculate Current at Maximum Power ...
