Problem

An electric kettle is labelled "1500 W, 250 V". Assume that the resistance of its heating element remains constant. (a) The kettle is connected to a 200 V200\,\text{V} supply. Calculate the power it will consume at this voltage. (b) Determine the current drawn from the 200 V200\,\text{V} supply. (c) At what supply voltage would the kettle consume exactly 1000 W1000\,\text{W} of power?
