Efficiency of domestic induction heater

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing the heating efficiency of domestic induction heaters, electric resistance heaters, domestic geysers, and microwave ovens based on kilowatt hours consumed to heat 1 liter of water. It is noted that non-heat pump electric heaters, including induction and resistance heaters, have an efficiency of 100%. The inquiry seeks to clarify the specific energy consumption for each heating method. The context of the question appears to be for educational purposes. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for precise energy consumption data for different heating appliances.

"russ_watters has just replied-Any non heat pump electric heater has an efficiency of 100%."
Let me put my problem clearly: If I heat up 1 litre of water by 4 means- induction cook top, electric resistance heater, domestic geyser and microwave oven, then what kilowatt hour will I consume?

What is the context of the question? Is this for schoolwork?
 
Sorry, I had replied and then deleted since my answer was wrong in the context of the question.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
