To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy supplied by the electric heater (Eh) The power of the electric heater is given as 54 W (watts). The time for which the heater operates is 3 minutes. We need to convert this time into seconds for our calculations. \[ \text{Time in seconds} = 3 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 180 \text{ seconds} \] ...
