Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 120

Question: A coil of wire of resistance $ 50,\Omega $ is embedded in a block of ice. If a potential difference of 210 V is applied across the coil, the amount of ice melted per second will be

Options:

A) 4.12 gm

B) 4.12 kg

C) 3.68 kg

D) 2.625 gm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \frac{Q}{t}=\frac{V^{2}}{4.2R}=\frac{m}{t}.L $ \ $ \frac{m}{t}=\frac{V^{2}}{4.2RL}=\frac{{{(210)}^{2}}}{4.2\times 50\times 80}\approx 2.625gm $
