How much energy is consumed when a current of 5 ampere flows through the filament of a heater having resistance of 100 ohms for two hours? Express it in joules.
How much energy is consumed when a current of 5 ampere flows through the filament of a heater having resistance of 100 ohms for two hours? Express it in joules.

Answer:

Given in the question,

I = 5A

R = 100 ohm

T = 2 hours

It is known to us that,

Energy consumed = P × T = I2RT

Substituting the values,

Energy consumed = 5kWh

1kWh = 3.6 × 106J

Therefore we got,

5kWh = 5 ×3.6 × 106J = 18 × 106J
