The heating coil of a hot water heater has a resistance of 20 ohms and operates at 210 V. If electrical energy costs 5.5 cents per kW-hr, what does it cost to raise the 200 kg of water in the tank from 15C to 80C? (The specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kgC)

Question 2

A high-voltage transmission line carries 1 000 A at 700 kV for a distance of 100 miles. If the resistance per length in the wire is 0.5 W/mile, what is the power loss due to resistive losses?
