Problem 7: (11\% of Assignment Value)
On its highest power setting, a microwave oven can increase the temperature of 0.379 kg of spaghetti by \(45.0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) in \(120.\mathrm{s}\).
Part (a)
Given that its specific heat is \(3.76\times 10^{3}\mathrm{~J}/\left(\mathrm{kg}\cdot{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\right)\), a value which is about \(90\%\) that of water, what was the rate of energy absorption, in watts, by the spaghetti?
Part (b)
Find the average intensity of the microwaves absorbed by the spaghetti, in watts per squared meter, given that they are absorbed over a circular area 21.7 cm in diameter.
Part (c)
What is the peak electric field strength, in volts per meter, absorbed by the spaghetti?
Part (d)
What is the corresponding peak magnetic field strength, in teslas?
\[
B_{0}=\square \mathrm{T}
\]
