SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the thermal power produced by a resistance heater in an electric oven powered by a 110 V line. The current through the heater is measured at 1.0 A, leading to a thermal power output of 110 W, calculated using the formula P = I × E. The heater is assumed to be 100% efficient in converting electrical power to thermal energy. The calculation confirms that the thermal power produced is 110 J/s, equivalent to 110 W.
