JEE Advanced 2020 — Paper 2 — Question 16
A container with 1 kg of water in it is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received due to the sunlight is and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of . Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in ) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be . (Ignore effect of the container, and take constant for Newton's law of cooling , Heat capacity of water )
Answer: 8.33
Numerical answer — enter this value.
Step-by-step solution
When steady state is reached energy received per unit time is equal to energy loss per unit time
