MHB Electrical Engineering Problem

AI Thread Summary
The electric oven operates on a 110 V power line with a current of 1.0 A through its resistance heater. The thermal power produced by the heater is calculated using the formula P = I × E, resulting in 110 W. The discussion raises a question about the appropriateness of the problem being posted in the puzzle palace section. The calculation assumes 100% efficiency in converting electrical power to thermal power. The focus remains on the electrical engineering principles involved in determining the power output of the heater.

An electric oven is heated using electricity from a 110 V power line. The power line is connected to a resistance heater in the oven, and the current through the heater is found to be 1.0 A. Assuming the heater is 100% efficient in converting electrical power into thermal power, what is the thermal power produced by the thermal element?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
$P=I \cdot E = \left(1 \, \dfrac{C}{s}\right) \cdot \left(110 \, \dfrac{J}{C}\right) = 110 \, \dfrac{J}{s} = 110 \, W$

Just noticed this was posted in the puzzle palace ... am I missing something?

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
