A fully charged capacitor has a capacitance $‘C’$. It is discharged through a small coil of resistance wire embedded in a thermally insulated block of specific heat capacity $‘s’$ and mass $‘m’$. If the temperature of the block is raised by ‘$\Delta T$’, the potential difference $‘V’$ across the capacitance is
