Answer

$6.2\times10^{4}\,J$

Work Step by Step

$Energy=\frac{Energy}{Charge}\times Charge$ But $\frac{Energy}{Charge}=V$ and $Charge\,q=It=\frac{V}{R}t$ Therefore, $Energy= Vq=V\times\frac{V}{R}t=\frac{V^{2}\times t}{R}$ Substituting the values, we get Energy delivered $=\frac{(120\,V)^{2}\times60\,s}{14\,\Omega}=6.2\times10^{4}\,J$
