Physics, asked by safewaterheater, 9 months ago

The current in the heater is 3.8A and the potential difference (p.d.) across it is 12V. The iron block has a mass of 2.0 kg. When the heater is switched on for 10 minutes, the temperature of the block rises from 25*C to 55*C.
Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron.

Answer:

Explanation: I=3.8A, V=12, power,P=IV=w/t=45.6W, t=10min=600s

work,Q=pt

           =45.6W×600s

           =45.6J/s × 600s

           =27360J

Δθ=change in temperatures=55°-25°=30°c=303k

Q=mcΔθ  where c= specific heat capacity= S.H.S , m=mass

⇒c=Q/(mΔθ)

    =27360/(2×303)

    =27360/606

   c =45.1Jkg⁻¹k⁻₁
