An electric heater of resistance 10 Ω draws current 5 A. Power consumed is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An electric heater of resistance 10 Ω draws current 5 A. Power consumed is
A. 500 W
B. 2 W
C. 50 W
D. 250 W
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
P = I²R = 5² × 10 = 25 × 10 = 250 W. Also P = VI, but V not given. Can find V = IR = 50 V, then P = 50×5 = 250 W.
