There are three papers for phy paper 1
namely
11 , 12 , 13

these are called variants scheduled according to diffrent time zones in diffrent countries...

The syllabus code for physics is 9702

and 9702/11 means first variant paper of physics paper 1

Q- an electric kettle is rated 2.4 kW. electrical energy costs 8 cents per kW h. the kettle takes 1.0 minute to boil sufficient water for two mugs of coffee. calculate the cost of making this amount of coffee on three separate occasions..
The answer for this question in the book at the back is given.= 0.96 cents

Please help...

A kW h is 3600 x 1000 J= 3,600,000 J. Energy used by kettle to boil water on one occasion is 60s x 2400 W = 144 000 J.
So cost of this is (144 000/ 3 600 000) x 8 cents=0.32 cents. For three occasions it is 0.96 cents.
