Find out the expression for heat produced in a conductor due to flow of current. |
|
Answer» When current flows through a conductor, heat energy is generated in the conductor. The heating effect of an electric current depends on three factors:
Hence the heating effect produced by an electric current, I through a conductor of resistance, R for a time, t is given by H = I2Rt. This equation is called the Joule’s equation of electrical heating. |
