Write a latent heat unit and dimensional formula. On what does the value of latent heat depend ?
The graph shows the variation of temperature $(T)$ of one kilogram of a material with the heat $(H)$ supplied to it. At $O,$ the substance is in the solid state. From the graph, we can conclude that
Why skating is possible on ice ?
A copper block of mass $2.5\; kg$ is heated in a furnace to a temperature of $500\,^{\circ} C$ and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice (in $kg$) that can melt? (Specific heat of copper $=0.39\; J g ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ ;heat of fusion of water $=335\; J g ^{-1})$
The figure given below shows the cooling curve of pure wax material after heating. It cools from $A$ to $B$ and solidifies along $BD$. If $L$ and $C$ are respective values of latent heat and the specific heat of the liquid wax, the ratio $L/C$ is
