The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$L$ is the latent heat of vaporization of water; the heat required for producing $1 \,g$ of steam,
$L=540\, cal =540 \times 4.2=2268\, J$
Energy supplied
$=1080\, J / s$
Time required to boil $100 \,g$ of water
$=540 \times 4.2 \times 100 / 1080 $
$=210\, s$

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
