A water heater is marked 1500W, 220V. If the voltage drops to 180V,calculate the power consumed by the heater. P 1 =V 1 I, 1500=220*I Hence I=150/22..............................(1) P 2 = V 2 i P 2 =180*150/22 from (1) Hence P 2 =1227.27 W (or) P 1 =V 1 I, P 1 =V 1 2 /R..................(1) P 2 =V 2 I,P 2 =V 2 2 /R....................(2) P 1 /P 2 =V 1 2 / V 2 2 P 2 =P 1 *V 2 2 /V 1 2 P 2 =1500*(180)2/(220)2 P 2 =1004.13W WHICH OF THE ABOVE METHODS ARE CORRECT AND WHY?? CAN U PLEASE EXPLAIN???


 A water heater  is marked 1500W, 220V. If the voltage drops to 180V,calculate the power consumed by the heater.

P1=V1I, 1500=220*I Hence I=150/22..............................(1)

P2= V2i P2=180*150/22 from (1)

Hence P2 =1227.27 W

(or)

P1=V1I, P1=V12/R..................(1)

P2=V2I,P2=V22/R....................(2)

P1/P2=V1/ V22

P2=P1*V22/V12

P2=1500*(180)2/(220)2

P2=1004.13W

 

 

WHICH OF THE ABOVE METHODS ARE CORRECT AND WHY?? CAN U PLEASE EXPLAIN???
