Question

Suppose you transfer a certain amount of heat energy to a known amount of a liquid in a perfectly insulated cup and the temperature changes. Then you decide to alter the experiment in several different ways. For each of the alterations listed below, state whether the total change in temperature will be larger, smaller, or the same as that measured in the original experiment. You do not need to explain your answer. start with more liquid in the cup increase the starting temperature of the liquid heat for a longer time but transfer the same total energy use an equal mass of liquid that has a larger specific heat C_1 = 10 mu F, C_2 = 15 mu F and C_3 = 30 mu F The equivalent capacitor for C_1, C_2 and C_3 is

Explanation / Answer

14) C2 parallel with C3 ---> Cp = 15 + 30 = 45 µF

The equivalent capacitors :

Ce = (C1 * Cp)/(C1 + Cp)

= ( 10 * 45)/(10 + 45)

Ce = 8.18 µF
