Specific heat of gold = 0.129 J/(g*deg C)
Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3
A cube of gold (initially at a temperature of 23.7°C) that is 3.10 mm on a side is connected across the terminals of a 17.0-µF capacitor that initially has a potential difference of 140.0 V between its plates.
a) What time is required to fully discharge the capacitor? The capacitor is fully discharged when the charge is less than 0.01 % which roughly corresponds to a time of 10t.
b) When the capacitor is fully discharged, what is the temperature (in °C) of the gold cube?
