Answer :
The correct answer is option (d) 3192 W.
Given that an oven has two 36-ohm elements connected in parallel and 240 V applied. We need to calculate the power drawn as it operates.
The formula to calculate the power consumed in an electrical circuit is given by
P = V2/R where
P = power,
V = voltage,
and R = resistance
Here, the resistance of one 36 ohm element, R = 36 ohm
Total resistance when two 36 ohm elements are connected in parallel = R/2 = 18 ohm
Voltage, V = 240 V
Putting the values in the formula, we get
P = V2/R
= (240)2/18
= 3200 W
Therefore, the power drawn by the oven as it operates is 3200 W or 3.2 kW.
