Question

What uses up more electricity: a tea kettle on a conventional hot plate or an electric plug in kettle?

Answer 1

the hot plate takes more electricity because electric tea pot is a single unit designed to do the job. hot plates are known for sucking the electricity like a vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt.\
