How do the rates of warming and cooling of land surfaces compare to the rates of warming and cooling ocean surfaces

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.

A15.75-g piece of iron absorbs 1086.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 25°c to 175°c. what is the specific heat capacity of iron?

Does current flow through or across a resistor?
