An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 50 cal of heat per second when an electric potential difference of 12 V is placed across its leads. What is the resistance of the heater wire? (Note: 1 cal = 4.186 J)
a. 0.94 W
b. 0.81 W
c. 0.58 W
d. 0.69 W
e. 1.5 W
