A heater supplying constant power P watts is switched on at time t = 0 minutes to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. A student records the temperature of the liquid T(t) at equal time intervals. A graph is plotted with T(t) on the y-axis versus t on the x-axis. Assume that there is no heat loss the surroundings during heating. Then,

Question

A heater supplying constant power P watts is switched on at time t = 0 minutes to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. A student records the temperature of the liquid T(t) at equal time intervals. A graph is plotted with T(t) on the y-axis versus t on the x-axis. Assume that there is no heat loss the surroundings during heating.  Then,

Examsnet · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer is :  the heat capacity of the liquid is inversely proportional to the slope of the graph
