An electrical heater supplies 500J of heat energy to a copper cylinder of mass 32.4g Find the increase in temperature of the cylinder. (Specific heat capacity of copper = 385 J*kg^-1*Celsius^-1

The temperature of a body of mass m and specific heat capacity c rises by change in temperature (delta)T when an amount of heat Q is added to it (Q = m c (delta)T). From the equation we see that the change i...

Find the solutions to z^2 = i

Here z is a complex number, and therefore, z = a + b i. Thus, our equation becomes (a + b i)^2 = i. Expanding the brackets we get a^2 + 2 a b i + (b^2) (i^2) = i. Since i is the square root of -1, i^2 = the ...
