Detailed Solution

Mass of 2 litres of water = 2 kg. Heat energy needed to raise the temperature of2 kg of water from 20°C to 75°C isQ=2×4.2×103×55=4.62×105JIf t is the time taken, heat energy supplied by the heater in time t isQ1=( power × time )=1000 t joule Heat energy lost in time t isQ2=160 t joule Heat energy available for heating water isQ=Q1−Q2=840 tEquating Q=Q′, we get t≃550s.
