Solution
A block of aluminum is heated electrically by a 30 w heater if the temperature rises by 10°c in 5 minutes, the heat capacity of the aluminum is
A
900 JK-1
B
90 JK-1
C
100 JK-1
D
200 JK-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Heat supplied = Heat gained Pt = MCDθ
30 x 5 x 60 = c x 10
where c = mc which is the heat capacity
c = (30 x 5 x60)/10 = 900 JKg-1

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
Steam burn is more severe than that of boiling water because
A
steam burn is independent of relative humidity
B
steam possesses greater heat energy per unit mass
C
water boils at a higher temperature
D
steam burn is dependent on relative humidity
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The specific latent heat of vaporization of steam is 2.1 x 106JKg-1
while the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of water from 0^\circc to 100^\circc = C x Dt = 4200 x 100 = 420000 = 4.2 x 105 JKg-1
∴ steam possesses greater heat energy per unit mass

Solution
Three similar cells each of e.m.f 2 v and internal resistance 2Ω are connected in parallel, the total e.m.f and total internal resistance are respectively
A
6 v, 6.0Ω
B
2 v, 0.7Ω
C
2 v, 6.0Ω
D
6 v, 0.7Ω
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Total energy in parred connection is equal to emt of one cell, = 2v but total internal resistance is given by
(1)/r = (1)/r1 + (1)/r2 + (1)/r3 = (1)/2 + (1)/2 + (1)/2 = (3)/2
∴ r = (2)/3 = 0.67Ω
