A system `S` receives heat continuously from an electric heater of power `10 W`. The temperature of `S` becomes constant at `50^(@)C` when the surrounding temperature is `20^(@)C`. After the heater is switched off, `S` cools from `35.1^(@)C` to `34.9^(@)C` in `1 minute`. the heat capacity of `S` is

A

`100J//"^(@)C`

B

`300J//"^(@)C`

C

`750J//"^(@)C`

D

`1500J//"^(@)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Rate of cooling
= ms`(-(d theta)/(dt)) = 4 sigma AT_(0)^(3) DeltaT`
`implies 4sigmaA xx T_(0)^(3)(50-20) = 10` and `4sigmaA xx T_(0)^(3)(35-20) = "ms"(-(d theta)/(dt)) = ms((0.2)/(60))`
`implies ms= (60)/(0.2) xx ((15 xx10)/(30)) = 1500J//^(@)C`

The specific heat of a metal at low temperature varies according to S= (4//5)T^(3) where T is the absolute temperature. Find the heat energy needed to raise unit mass of the metal from T = 1 K to T= 2K .

A body cools from 80^(@)C to 50^(@)C in 5 minutes Calculate the time it takes to cool from 60^(@)C to 30^(@)C . The temperature of the surroundings is 20^(@)C .

A body cools in a surrounding of constant temperature 30^(@)C . Its heat capacity is 2J//^(@)C . Initial temperature of the body is 40^(@)C . Assume Newton's law of cooling is valid. The body cools to 36^(@)C in 10 minutes. When the body temperature has reached 36^(@)C . it is heated again so that it reaches to 40^(@)C in 10 minutes. Assume that the rate of loss of heat at 38^(@)C is the average rate of loss for the given time . The total heat required from a heater by the body is :
