Asked by Lanise
A 1500-W heater is designed to be plugged into a 120-V outlet.
What current will flow through the heating coil when the heater is plugged in? I = A
What is R , the resistance of the heater?
How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room 3.0m x 5.0m x 8m by 10 degrees C? Note that the specific heat of air is 1006 J/(kg x degrees C) and the density of air is 1.20 kg/m^3.

Power = I*V
Solve for I
R = V/I
Power * Time = Mass * (specific heat) * (change in T)
Solve for time.
The answer you get will be an underestimate because heat is also being lost to the walls and windows of the room.
