A vertical cylinder with a freely floating piston contains 0.1 kg air at 1.2 bar and a small electrical resistor. The resistor is wired to an external 12 volt battery. When a current of 1.5 amps is passed through the resistor fo 90 secs, the piston sweeps a volume of 0.01m3. Assume (i) piston and the cylinder are insulated and (ii) air behaves as an ideal gas with cv=700J/kgK. Find the rise in temperature of air.6
