A resistor in a heating element is a total of 0.5 kg with specific heat of 0.8

Question:

A resistor in a heating element is a total of 0.5 kg with specific heat of 0.8 kJ/kgK. It is now receiving 500 W of electric power, so it heats from 20◦C to 180◦C. Neglect external heat loss and find the time the process took and the entropy generation.
