Q38 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2019 (Paper 1) · Physics
A current carrying wire heats a metal rod. The wire provides a constant power to the rod. The metal rod is enclosed in an insulated container. It is observed that the temperature in the metal rod changes with time as:
where is a constant with appropriate dimension while is a constant with dimension of temperature. The heat capacity of the metal is:
where is a constant with appropriate dimension while is a constant with dimension of temperature. The heat capacity of the metal is:
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Heat required for small increment in temperature of a substance is given by
where, mass of substances
or specific heat of substance
Now, heat capacity,
Rate of heat absorption by the rod, .......(1)
But given that, temperature of rod as a function of time is
......(2)
Putting it in (1) gives
Now using equation
where, mass of substances
or specific heat of substance
Now, heat capacity,
Rate of heat absorption by the rod, .......(1)
But given that, temperature of rod as a function of time is
......(2)
Putting it in (1) gives
Now using equation
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
