    If the circuit is active for 15 minutes, what would be the rise in the temperature of the water? (b) Suppose the 6.0 Ω resistor gets burnt. What would be the rise in the temperature of the water in the next 15 minutes?
    Figure
    Ans : Heat generated in the 2 Ω resistor,
    H = (i - i')2Rt
    `` \Rightarrow H=\left(\frac{9}{5}\right)\times \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)\times 2\times 15\times 60=5832\,\mathrm{\,J\,}``
    The heat capacity of the calorimeter together with water is 2000 J K-1. Thus, 2000 J of heat raise the temp by 1 K.
    ∴ 5832 J of heat raises the temperature by `` \frac{5832}{2000}`` = 2.916 K (b) When the 6 Ω resistor gets burnt, the effective resistance of the circuit,
    Reff = 1 + 2 = 3 Ω
    Current through the circuit,
    i = `` \frac{6}{3}`` = 2 A
    Heat generated in the 2 Ω resistor = (2)2× 2 × 15 × 60 = 7200 J
    2000 J raise the temperature by 1 K.
    ∴ 7200 J raise the temperature by `` \frac{7200}{2000}`` = 3.6 K .
