An electric iron is rated 1000W, 230V. What is the resistance of its elements?
  • A.
    51.9Ω
  • B.
    52.9Ω
  • C.
    55.9Ω
  • D.
    57.6Ω
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Electric Power = IV = I2R = V2/R thus for a device rated 1000 W, 230V, from the relation P = V2/R, 1000 = (230)2/R
=> R = (230)2/1000
= 52900/1000 = 52.9Ω
