A coffee maker can be modeled as a heating element (resistance
R) connected to the outlet voltage of 120.0 V (assumed to be dc).
The heating element boils small amounts of water at a time as it
brews the coffee. When bubbles of water vapor form, they carry
liquid water up through the tubing. Because of this, the coffee
maker boils 1.60% of the water that passes through it; the rest is
heated to 100°C but remains liquid. Starting with water at 10.0°C,
the coffee maker can brew 1.00 L of coffee in 7.70 min. Find the
resistance R. The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,256,000
J/kg and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/ (kg·K).
