Answer: 5.67 W.
- A 0.567 W
- B 5.67 W
- C 56.7 W
- D 0.057 W
Correct answer: B. 5.67 W
Explanation: P = σAT<sup>4</sup> = 5.67×10<sup>-8</sup> × 10<sup>-4</sup> × 10<sup>12</sup> = 5.67 W.
During a phase change (melting or boiling), temperature stays constant while heat is absorbed entirely as latent heat (Q=mL); temperature only rises again once the substance is fully in its new phase.
