A \(500 \Omega\) resistor connected to an external battery is placed inside a thermally insulated cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The cylinder contains an ideal gas. A current \(i\) of \(200 \mathrm{~mA}\) flows through the resistor as shown in the figure. The mass of the piston is \(10 \mathrm{~kg}\). Assuming \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\), the speed at which the piston will move upward, due to heat dissipated by the resistor, so that the temperature of the gas remains unchanged is

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(15 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(20 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(30 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution
