A thermally insulated piece of metal is heated under atmospheric pressure by an electric current so that it receives electric energy at constant power P. This leads to an increase in the absolute temperature T of the metal with time t as Tt= T01 +at - t014, where at0 and T0 are constants. The heat capacity CPT of the metal is

The correct answer is: 4PT3aT04
Heat given to the metal

dQ = Pdt = CP(t) dT              ...(i)

At constant pressure in time interval at

Given, T = T0 [1 + a(t - t0)]1/4

dT dt = T 0 4 1 + a t - t 0 - 3 / 4 × a               ...(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii)

  C P T = P dT dt = 4 P 1 + a t - t 0 3 / 4 T 0 a = 4 PT 3 a T 0 4
