An electric current of 3Aflowing through an electric heating elements of resistance 20 embedded in 1,000g of an oil raises the temperature of the oil by 10^oC in 10 seconds then the specific heat capacity of the oil is

1.8Jg^-1^oC

0.6Jg^-1^oC

0.18Jg^-1^oC

18Jg^-1^oC

0.06Jg^-1^oC

Correct answer is C

Heat energy = Electrical energy

mc\(\Omega\) = I²RTt

1000 x c x 10 = 3 x 3 x 20 x 10

0.18Jg^-1^oC
