Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 66P

Electrical power generators are sometimes "load tested” by passing current through a large vat of water. A similar method can be used to test the heat output of a resistor. A R = 30 Ω resistor is connected to a 9.0-V battery and the resistor leads are water proofed and the resistor is placed in 1.0 kg of room temperature water ( T = 20 ° C ) . Current runs through the resistor for 20 minutes. Assuming all the electrical energy dissipated by the resistor is converted to heat, what is the final temperature of the water?
