Statement-1: Knowing that rating is done at steady state of the filament, an electric bulb connected to a source having rated voltage consumes more than rated power just after it is switched on. Statement-2: When filament is at room temperature its resistance is less than its resistance is less than its resistance when the bulb is fully illuminated

A liquid having mass m = 250 g is kept warm in a vessel by use of an electric heater. The liquid is maintained at 50^(@)C when the power supplied by heater is 30 watt and surrounding temperature is 20^(@)C . As the heater is switched off, the liquid starts cooling and it was observed that it took 10 second for temperature to fall down from 40^(@)C to 39.9^(@)C . Calculate the specific heat capacity of the liquid. Assume Newton’s law of cooling to be applicable.

An electric tungsten bulb is connected into a home circuit. The home electric supply runs at 220 V potential difference.

A metal block is placed in a room which is at 10^(@)C for long time. Now it is heated by an electric heater of power 500 W till its temperature becomes 50^(@)C . Its initial rate of rise of temperature is 2.5^(@)C//sec . The heater is switched off and now a heater of 100W is required to maintain the temperature of the block at 50^(@)C . (Assume Newtons Law of cooling to be valid) What is the rate of cooling of block at 50^(@)C if the 100W heater is also switched off?
