One $kg$ of water, at $20\,^oC$, is heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of $20\, \Omega $. The rms voltage in the mains is $200\, V$. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, time taken for water to evaporate fully, is close to.......... $\min$ [Specific heat of water $= 4200\, J/kg\, ^oC$), Latent heat of water $= 2260\, k\,J/kg$]

The charge flowing in a conductor changes with time as $Q ( t )=\alpha t -\beta t ^2+\gamma t ^3$. Where $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are constants. Minimum value of current is :
A square shaped wire with resistance of each side $3\, \Omega$ is bent to form a complete circle. The resistance between two diametrically opposite points of the circle in unit of $\Omega$ will be ......
The resistance of an electrical toaster has a temperature dependence given by $R\left( T \right) = {R_0}\left[ {1 + \alpha \left( {T - {T_0}} \right)} \right]$ in its range of operation. At ${T_0} = 300\,K,R = 100\,\Omega $ and at $T = 500\,K,\,R = 120\,\Omega $. The toaster is connected to a voltage source at $200\, V$ and its temperature is raised at a constant rate from $300$ to $500\, K$ in $30\, s$. The total work done in raising the temperature is
An ammeter with internal resistance $90\,\Omega $ reads $1.85\, A$ when connected in a circuit containing a battery and two resistors $700\,\Omega $ and $410\,\Omega $ in series. Actual current will be
Fig. shows rough sketch of meter bridge. $(G)$ deflects zero at length $\ell \, cm$. Now $R_1$ and $R_2$ are interchanged then balancing length increases by $25\, cm$. Find $R_1/R_2$
Four bulbs $B_1 , B_2, B_3$ and $B_4$ of $100\, W$ each are connected to $220\, V$ main as shown in the figure. The reading in an ideal ammeter will be ............... $A$
