Due to cold weather a \(1\, {m}\) water pipe of cross-sectional area \(1\, {cm}^{2}\) is filled with ice at \(-10^{\circ} {C}\). Resistive heating is used to melt the ice. Current of \(0.5\, {A}\) is passed through \(4\, {k} \Omega\) resistance. Assuming that all the heat produced is used for melting, what is the minimum time required ? (In \({s}\)) (Given latent heat of fusion for water/ice \(=3.33 \times 10^{5}\, {J} {kg}^{-1}\), specific heat of ice \(=2 \times 10^{3}\, {J}\) \({kg}^{-1}\) and density of ice \(=10^{3}\, {kg} / {m}^{3}\)

  1. A \(0.353\)
  2. B \(35.3\)
  3. C \(3.53\)
  4. D \(70.6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(35.3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

mass of ice \({m}=\rho {A} \ell=10^{3} \times 10^{-4} \times 1=10^{-1}\, {kg}\) Energy required to melt the ice \({Q}={ms} \Delta {T}+{mL}\) \(=10^{-1}\left(2 \times 10^{3} \times 10+3.33 \times 10^{5}\right)=3.53 \times 10^{4} {J}\)…
