0 1 Figure 1 shows an electric steam iron.
Figure 1
Water from a reservoir drips onto an electrically-heated metal plate. The water boils
and steam escapes through holes in the metal plate.
The electrical power of the heater inside the iron is 2.1 kW.
Assume that all the energy from the heater is transferred to the metal plate.
0 1 . 1 The metal plate has a mass of 1.2 kg and is initially at a temperature of 20 °C.
The heater is switched on. After a time t the metal plate reaches its working
temperature of 125 °C.
Calculate t.
 specific heat capacity of the metal = 450 J kg−1 K
