An immersion heater used to boil water for a single cup of tea plugs into a 120 V outlet and is rated at 300 W. Suppose your super-size, super-insulated tea mug contains 400 g of water at a temperature of 13 oC. You can ignore the energy needed to raise the temperature of the mug and the heater itself. 1)What is the resistance of the heater?
