A certain brand of hotdog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 146 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowing it to
cook by means of the thermal energy produced. The current is 12.8 A, and the energy required to cook one hot dog is 60.8 kJ. If the
rate at which energy is supplied is unchanged, how long will it take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously?

Assuming that all of the supplied energy goes to each material and they were all initially at the same temperature, which one of these materials will have a greater temperature rise after 10 s? We can answer this question using Equation as shown . We will first look up the values of the specific heat for water, brick, and concrete, which are cwater = 4180 J⁄kg K, cbrick = 960 J⁄kg K and cconcrete = 880 J⁄kg K . Now applying as shown , Ethermal = mc(Tfinal Tinitial) to each situation, it should be clear that although each material has the same amount of mass and is exposed to the same amount of thermal energy, the concrete will experience a higher temperature rise because it has the lowest heat capacity value among the three given materials.arrow_forward
