You could be electrocuted if you try to use water to put of what class of fire?

You could be electrocuted if you try to use water to put out an electrical fire, which is classified as Class C. Water conducts electricity, so using it on live electrical equipment or wiring can result in severe electrical shock or electrocution. Instead, it's important to use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires, such as a CO2 or dry chemical extinguisher. Always ensure that the power source is turned off if possible before attempting to extinguish an electrical fire.


How much electrical power does it take to boil 1 gallon of water?

1). You don't mean 'power'. You mean 'energy'.'Power' is the rate at which the you pump the energy into the water. You can put it in fast (high power),or you can put it in slow (low power). The total amount of energy it takes will be the same either way,but it'll take longer at low power.You don't pay the electric company for power (kilowatts). You pay them for energy (kilowatt-hours).2). The answer to the water-boiling question completely depends on the starting temperature of the water.
