Question

131.A conductor has a temperature independent resistance R and a total heat capacity C. At the moment t= 0 it is connected to a D.C. voltage V. Find the time dependence of the conductor's temperature T assuming the thermal power dissipated into surrounding space to vary as q = k (T -To ), where k is a constant, To is the surrounding temperature (equal to conductor's temperature at the initial moment).
