Question

a current of 5 ampere flows through a 12 ohm resistor what is the rate at which heat energy is produced in the register

Answer 1

The heat energy generated is 300 joules.

Explanation:

The heat generated in a circuit due to which there is a power consumption or power loss when the heat is released, this form of energy related to heat is known as heat energy. For a circuit where current is flowing there is heat generation which is calculated as,

$H=I^{2} R$

Solution:

Where H is the heat generated in Joules, I is the current in Amperes and R is the resistance in Ohm.

According to the question:

I = 5.0 A  

R = 12 ohm  

So heat generated will be,

$H=5^{2} \times 12$

H = 300 Joules.

Answer 2

Answer:

the heat energy is 300 Joule
