A heater takes 50 minute to boil a given amount of water, its coil is broken in five equal parts. If one part is used, then how much time it will take to boil the same amount of water using the same source?

Text Solution

For heater `H=(V^(2))/(R)xx50`
for one part of coil `H=(V^(2))/(R//5)xxt`
By equation (1) and (2) `(V^(2))/(R)xx50=(V^(2))/(R//5)xxt` t=10 minute

There are two separate coils in a heater . If one col is used then it takes 20 minutes to boil a given amount of water completely. But when its other coil is used then it takes 5 minutes to boil the same amount of water. Calculate the time taken to boil the same amount of water using the same source when the two coils are connected (1) in series and (2) in parallel.

Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, an be arranged either in configuration-I or in configuration-II as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity k and the other 2k. The temperature difference between the ends along the x-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes 9s to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to the cold end in the configuration-I. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration-II is
