When a 500-W electric and a 500-W heater operate at their rates voltages, the filament of the bulb reaches a much higher temperature than the filament of the heater. The most important reason for this that

A metal block of heat capacity 80J^(@)C^(-1) placed in a room at 20^(@)C Is heated electrically. The heater is swiched off when the temperature reaches 30^(@)C . The temperature of the block rises at the rate of 2^(@)Cs^(-1) just after the heater is switched on the and falls at the rate of 0.2^(@)Cs^(-1) just after the heater is switched off. Assume newtons law of cooling to hold. (a) Find the power of the heater. (b) Find the power radiated by the block just after the heater is switched off. (c) Find the power radiated by the block when the temperature of the block is 25^(@)C . (d) Assuming that the power radiated at 25^(@)C represents the average value in the heating process, find the time for which the heater was kept on.
