Question

The amount of heat produced in a conductor does not depend on __________.

• A. length
• B. material
• C. force
• D. thickness

Answer 1

The correct option is C

force

The amount of heat produced in a conductor depends on:

1. Type of Material (resistance offered by the material) – good conductors produce less heat.

2. Length of conductor – as length increases the heat produced also increases.

3. Thickness – as thickness increases the heat produced decreases.

Mecahnical force is not a parameter to be considered in this case. Therefore force acting on the conductor does not depends on a mechanical force.
