\bf \underline{Given :-}


\sf{• \: An  \: electric \:  heater \:  draws  \: a  \: current  \: of  \: 5  \: ampere \:  from \:  220  \: volt \:  supply.}


\\


\bf{ \underline{To \:  Find:- }}


\sf• \: ( a)  \: lts  \: resistance.


\sf• \: (b) \:  electrical  \: energy  \: consumed  \: in \:  kwh \:  if  \: it  \: is  \: used  \: for \:  4  \: hours.


\\


\huge\bf{ \underline{ Solution :-}}


{ \boxed{\bf{(a)}}}


\sf•  \: Current  \: (I) = 5 \: A


\sf• \: Voltage \: (V) = 220 \: v


\bf \red{\bigstar{\: Formula \:  of \:  Resistance \: (R) =  (V)/(I) }}


\sf \rightarrow  R = (220)/(5)


\sf \rightarrow R =44


\bf{Hence,  \: it's  \: resistance \:  is  \:  \: 44 \:  Ω \: .}


\\  \\


{ \boxed{\bf{(b)}}}


\sf•  \: Current  \: (I) = 5 \: A


\sf• \: Voltage \: (V) = 220 \: v


\bf \red{\bigstar{\: Formula  \: of \:  Electric  \: Power \:  (P) = IV  }}


\sf \rightarrow P = (5  * 220)


\sf \rightarrow P = 1100 \:


\\


\sf \therefore \: P = 1100 \: watt


\sf{• \: Time  \: (t) = 4  \: hours }


\bf \red{\bigstar{ \: Formula  \: of  \: Energy  \: (W) = Pt}}


\sf \rightarrow W= 1100  *  4


\sf \rightarrow W = 4400


\sf \rightarrow W  =  (4400)/(1000)


\sf \rightarrow W  =  4.4


\sf \therefore W  =  4.4 \: kwh


\bf{Hence,  \: Electrical  \: Energy \:  is \:  4.4  \: kwh.}
