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.

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?

A heating coil can heat the water of a vessel from 20^(@)C to 60^(@)C in 30 minutes . Two such heating coils are put in series and then used to heat the same amount of water through the same temperature range. The time taken now will be (neglecting thermal capacity of the coils)

An electric kettle has tow heating coils. When one of the coils connected to an AC source, the water in the kettle boils in 10 min. when the other coil is used the water boils in 40 min. if both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water of boil will be

In a home experiment , Ram brings a new electric kettle with unknown power rating . He puts 1 litre water in the kettle and switches on . But to his dismay , the temperature becomes constants at 60^(@)C after some time. The room temperature is 20^(@)C . Ram gets bored and switches off the kittle . He sees that during first 20 s water cools down by 2^(@)C . What is the wattage of the kettle

Molar heat capacity of an ideal gas in the process PV^(x) = constant , is given by : C = (R)/(gamma-1) + (R)/(1-x) . An ideal diatomic gas with C_(V) = (5R)/(2) occupies a volume V_(1) at a pressure P_(1) . The gas undergoes a process in which the pressure is proportional to the volume. At the end of the process the rms speed of the gas molecules has doubled from its initial value. Heat supplied to the gas in the given process is :
