    A heater coil connected to 200 V has a resistance of 80 Ω, when the heater is plugged in for the time t such that 1 kg of water at 20°C attains a temperature of 60°C, the power of the heater will be 500W.
    We know that the power of heater is = V2/ R
    Here, V is the voltage, P is the power, and R is the resistance.
     P= (200)2/ 80 W
    By simplifying, we get
         P= 500 W
