Asmall electric heater, immersed in 80g of water in a calorimeter of 40j/k raises the temperature from 10.5 degree celsius to 25 degree celsius in 12 minutes. using the same apparatus with 50g of oil instead of water, it is found that the temperature of oil rises from 7 degree celsius to 27 degree celsius in 10 minutes. find specific heat capacity of the oil.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
