Hi,
I have conducted an experiment for finding the latent heat of liquid nitrogen using a 5W power supply and a 200 ohms resistor. As part of my conclusions I am asked to discuss/refer to the resistor's temperature during the experiment. I am not sure whether I am expected to provide a quantitative answer, though.
How may I answer that? Isn't its temperature essentially the same as that of the liquid nitrogen, provided it is inside the dewar?
