An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 50 cal of heat per second when an electric potential difference of 12 v is placed across its leads. what is the resistance of the heater wire? (note: 1 cal = 4.186 j)

The answer is b.the gaseous state is electrically positive, while the plasma state is electrically negative. 

Your answer is 32 hope i  

Answerthe energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.explanationwe define electric potential as the ratio electric potential energy to the charge,    then the following gives us the potential difference,      the formula  may be on your formula sheet.the change in electric potential energy would be the energy that would needed to move it from point a to point b. solving for that, we get    using q = 8.00  × 10⁻¹⁹ c and  δv = 2.00 v, we get    the energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.
