Define Latent heat.

(1) Take a few pieces of ice in a glass beaker as shown in figure. (2) Insert the bulb of a thermometer in ice and measure its temperature. (3) Put the beaker on a stand and heat the ice using a burner. (4) Record the temperature using the thermometer after every minute. (5) As the ice is heated,it starts melting. Stir the mixture of ice and water. (6) Continue the heating even after ice starts melting. (7) Draw a graph of temperature versus time. Define latent heat of fusion OR What is latent heat of fusion ?
