A plate of area $10cm^2$ is to be electroplated with copper (density $9000kg/m^3$) to a thickness of 10 micrometres on both sides, using a cell of 12V. Calculate the energy spent by the cell in the process of deposition. If this energy is used to heat 100g of water, calculate the rise in the temperature of the water. ECE of copper = $3 \times 10^{-7}kg C^{-1}$ and specific heat capacity of water = $4200Jkg^{-1}$.
