If a kettle in the UK (240 volts) takes 3 minutes (for argument’s sake) to boil 500ml of water, how long does it take in a country where mains voltage is 120?

13 小時內	Ronald Reeder reeder.ronald	Stoves in America run on 220V. My induction range will boil 2 cups of water from tepid to rolling boil in about 9 seconds.
