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=V12/ V22P2=P1*V22/V12P2=1500*(180)2/(220)2P2=1004.13WWHICH OF THE ABOVE METHODS ARE CORRECT AND WHY?? CAN U PLEASE EXPLAIN???
