An aluminium block of mass 1 kg is heated by an electric heater for 3 minutes and a temperature rise of 15 °C is recorded. If the electric heater is connected to a voltmeter which gives a reading of 30 V and an ammeter which gives a reading of 2.5 A, calculate the specific heat capacity of the aluminium.​

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
