Bohr and Biot purchased two electric kettles A and B of the same size and thickness and same volume of 0.4 litre. They studied the specification of kettles as under
Kettle A : specific heat capacity;1680 J/kg–k, mass = 200 gm cost = Rs. 400
Kettle B : specific heat capacity = 2450 J/kg–K mass = 400 gm cost = Rs 400 . When kettle A is switched on with constant potential source, the tea begins to boil in 6 minutes. When kettle B is switched on with same source separately, tea begins to boil in 8 minutes. They made discussion on specification and efficiency of kettles and prepared a list of questions to draw a conclusion. Some of these are as under (take specific heat of tea liquid = 4200 J/kg–k, and density = 1000 kg/m3)
 
If the resistances of coil of kettle A and B are RB and RB respectively, then we can say
  1. RA > RB
  2. RA > RB
  3. RA = RB
  4. no relation can be predicted

Answer

(C) R A = R B
