Question

Compute the heat generated while transferring 96000 coulomb of charge in one hour through a potential difference of 50 V.

Answer 1

The amount of heat (H) produced is given by the Joule’s law of heating as

Where,

Voltage, V = 50 V

Time, t = 1 h = 1 × 60 × 60 s

Amount of current,

Therefore, the heat generated is .
