Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2006 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

An electric heater with a p.d of 240 V connected across its terminals has a total resistance of 960Ω. find the power rating of the heater.
Answer Details
Power, P = (V^2)/R, where V is the voltage and R is the resistance. Given that the p.d of the electric heater is 240 V and the total resistance is 960Ω, we can calculate the power rating of the heater as follows: P = (240^2)/960 P = 57600/960 P = 60 W Therefore, the power rating of the electric heater is 60 W. Answer option (D) is correct.
