5 X 10\(^{-3}\)kg of liquid at its boiling point is evaporated in 20s by the heat generated by a resistor of 2\(\Omega\) when a current of 10A is used. The specific latent heat of vaporization of the liquid is 

a

8.0 x 10\(^4\)Jkg\(^{-1}\)

b

8.0 x 10\(^5\)Jkg\(^{-1}\)

c

8.0 x 10\(^6\)Jkg\(^{-1}\)

d

8.0 x 10\(^7\)Jkg\(^{-1}\)

Why was I*I*R*t used in the electricity part ?

using the formula.... power×time=mas
s×latent

analysis parameter
mass=00.05kg
time=20sec
resistor=2ohms
current=10A
latent heat=??

remember in electricity.....power=I²R
I..current. R... resistor

power=10*10*2=200watt

using the formula.... power×time=mass×latent
200*20=0.005*latent
400=0.005latent
latent =400/0.005
latent=800000





hope it helps 🤞

can someone explain how the raised to power 5 came about

I need more explanation

I 🤔 wonder why it's hard to find the answer.
