Heat is supplied to a test tube containing 100g of ice at its melting point. The ice melts completely in 1 min.What is the power rating of the source of heat? [Latent heat of fusion of ice = 336Jg-1]

  • A. 336W
  • B. 450W
  • C. 560W
  • D. 600W

Correct Answer: C. 560W

Explanation

p x t = heat energy

P x 1 x 60 = 100 x 336

p = 560W
