A resistance coil is made by combining two 2.5 ohm resistances in series. A 1.0 V steady voltage is applied across the two ends of the coil for 5 minutes. The heat generated is:

Solution
Req = R1 + R2 = 2.5 + 2.5 = 5
V = 1V
V = IR I = V/R = 1/5 = 0.2A
H = (I^2) * R * t = (0.2)^2 * 5 * 300 (TIME IN SECONDS) = 60J
