Heat energy dissipated across a conductor carrying current I connected to an unknown resistance R for a time t is H.
Calculate the value of resistance R in terms of other parameters.

Open in App

Solution

Heat energy dissipated is given by $H = I^{2} R t$

Where,
I = Current flowing through the conductor
R = Resistance of the conductor and
t = Time for which current has flown in the conductor.

Arranging the above formula for R we get,

$R = \frac{H}{I^{2} t}$
