A solid maintained at t1° C is kept in an evacuated chamber at temperature t2° C (t2 >>t1). The rate of heat absorbed by the body is proportional to
t24 − t14
(t24 + 273) − (t14 + 273)
t2 − t1
t22 − t12
Heat is produced at a rate given by H in a resistor when it is connected across a supply of voltage V. If now the resistance of the resistor is doubled and the supply voltage is made V/3, then the rate of production of heat in the resistor will be
H/18
H/9
6H
18H
Same quantity of ice is filled in each of the two metal containers P and Q having the same size, shape and wall thickness but made of different materials. The containers are kept in identical surroundings. The ice in P melts completely in time t, whereas in Q takes a time t2. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of P and Q is
t2 : t1
t1 : t2
t12 : t22
t22 : t12
A 10 W electric heater is used to heat a container filled with 0.5 kg of water. It is found that the temperature of water and the container rises by 3°K in 15 min. The container is then emptied, dried and filled with 2 kg of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of container-oil system by 2°K in 20 min. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is 4200 J kg-1 K-1, the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to
1.50 × 103
2.55 × 103
3.00 × 103
5.10 × 103

22320 cal of heat is supplied to 100 g of ice at O°C. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal g-1 and latent heat of vaporization ofwater is 540 cal g-1, the final amount of water thus obtained and its temperature respectively are
8 g, 100°C
100 g, 90°C
92 g, 100°C
82 g, 100°C
A piece of iron is heated in a flame. If first becomes dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using
