Question
A thermally insulated piece of metal is heated by supplying a constant power P. Due to this, the temperature of the metal starts varying with time as T= at^1/4 + To(T not)
The heat capacity of the metal as a function of temperature is
(1) 4PT³/a^4
(2) 4P(T-To)³/a^4
(3) 4PT²/a³
(4) 4P(T - To)²/a³
Joshi sir comment
P = dQ/dt = mcdT/dt
or mcdT = Pdt
or mc = Pdt/dT
or mc = Pd/dT[(T-T0)4/a4]
here mc is heat capacity
now solve
