$A$ student takes $50 \, g$ of wax (specific heat $= 0.6 \, cal/g \cdot ^\circ C$) and heats it until it boils. The graph between temperature and time is shown below. The heat supplied to the wax per minute and the boiling point are respectively:

  • A
    $500 \, cal, 50^\circ C$
  • B
    $1000 \, cal, 100^\circ C$
  • C
    $1500 \, cal, 200^\circ C$
  • D
    $2000 \, cal, 250^\circ C$

$A$ $10.0 \,W$ electrical heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \,kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rose by $3 \,K$ in $15 \,min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \,kg$ of an oil. It is now observed that the same heater raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \,K$ in $20 \,min$. Assuming no other heat losses in any of the processes,the specific heat capacity of the oil is ................ $\times 10^3 \,J K^{-1} kg^{-1}$.
