EMQ1. The company "Save Electricity the Smart Way" sells you a gadget that lovers the voltage of your electric water storage heater by 10% and saves electricity by 10% . The heater is rated at 2 KW at 230V . Do you agree with the claim of the company ? Support your opinion.
EMQ1.Ans: The answer is "No electricity saved". Due to the lower voltage the KW load will go down. Therefore the process to heat the water will take longer based on the energy balance. The electricity consumption in fact goes slightly up on paper.
