List of top Physics Questions on Heat Transfer asked in JEE Advanced

The specific heat capacity of a substance is temperature dependent and is given by the formula C = kT, where k is a constant of suitable dimensions in SI units, and T is the absolute temperature. If the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance from −73 ° C to 27 ° C is nk, the value of n is ___[Given: 0 K = −273 °C.]

A container with $1 \,kg$ of water in it is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received due to the sunlight is $700\, Wm ^{-2}$ and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of $0.05\, m ^{2}$ .Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in ${ }^{\circ} C$ ) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be _______ .(Ignore effect of the container, and take constant for Newton's law of cooling $=0.001\, s ^{-1}$, Heat capacity of water $=4200\, J \,kg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ )
