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

Answer:

Given parameters

Charge (Q) = 96000 C

Time (t) = 1hr = 60 x 60 = 3600 s

Potential difference (V) = 50 V

Let us calculate current (I)

I = Q/t

I =  (96000)/(3600)

I = (80/3) A

Let us calculate the quantity of heat generated by using the formula

H = V × I × t

H = 50 × (80/3) × 3600

H = 4.8 × 10⁶ J

Therefore, the heat generated is 4.8 x 10⁶ J.
