(1) Find the amount of heat energy required.
(ii) The energy efficiency of an electric kettle A is 60%; that is, it requires 1 J of electrical energy to produce 0.6 J of heat energy. Find the amount of electrical energy kettle A requires.
(b) Another electric kettle B requires 80% of the electrical energy used by electric kettle A. Find the energy efficiency of electric kettle B.
