Question

Who can solve this?
The circuit is switched on for a time interval of 500s and the following readings are obtained:

Answer 1

change in temperature=\[50^{o}C\]
mass of metal block=1kg
ammeter reading=5 A
voltmeter reading=8 V

Answer 2

Using the above data, calculate the specific heat capacity on the unknown metal.

Answer 3

First find the current through the circuit.

Heat dissipated=I^2Rt

Now heat dissipated=mcdelta T

From that you can find specific heat capacity :)
