Q10. a) Write down the formula for the heat produced when a current I is passed through a resistor R for time t. b) An electric iron of resistance 20 ohms draws a current of 5 amperes. Calculate the heat produced in 30 seconds.
Q10. a) Write down the formula for the heat produced when a current I is passed through a resistor R for time t. b) An electric iron of resistance 20 ohms draws a current of 5 amperes. Calculate the heat produced in 30 seconds.

Answer

a) The following is the formula for calculating the amount of heat produced:

I2Rt = H

b) Assumed

R equals 20

5 amps = I

t = 30 seconds

We are aware of this.

I2Rt = H

We know H = 15000J by substituting the numbers we get.
