  • A 2.0 x 10\(^2\)Jkg\(^-1\)K\(^-1\)
  • B 2.0 x 10\(^2\)Jkg\(^-1\)
  • C 4.0 x 10\(^4\)Jkg\(^-1\)K\(^-1\)
  • D 4.0 x 10\(^4\)Jkg\(^-1\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Heat energy = Electrical Energy
MC\(\theta\) = power x time
5 x 1 x 10\(^{-2}\) x C = 100 x 20 = \(\frac{200}{5 \times 10^2}\)
= 4 x 10\(^4\) J/kg/\(^oC\)
