minutes.
Answers
Answer :
- Heat energy generated in the coil is 5760 J.
Explanation :
Given :
- Potential difference of the coil, V = 30 V
- Current flowing in the coil, I = 0.8 A
- Time taken for flow of current, t = 4 min or 240 s.
To find :
- Heat energy generated in the coil, H = ?
Knowledge required :
- Formula for heat energy in a electric current :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀H = I²Rt⠀
[Where : H = Heat energy generated, I = Current flowing in the circuit, R = Resistance in the circuit, t = time taken]
- Ohm's law :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀V = IR⠀
[Where : V = Potential difference of the circuit, I = Current flowing in the circuit, R = Resistance in the circuit]
From the ohm's law, we get :
⠀⠀=> V = IR
⠀⠀=> V/I = R
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∴ R = V/I
So the formula for resistance is V/I.
Now substituting the value of resistance in the circuit, we get :
⠀⠀=> H = I²Rt
⠀⠀=> H = I²(V/I)t
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∴ H = I²(V/I)t
Solution :
By using the formula for heat energy generated and substituting the values in it, we get :
⠀⠀=> H = I²(V/I)t
⠀⠀=> H = 0.8² × 30/0.8 × 240
⠀⠀=> H = 0.8 × 30 × 240
⠀⠀=> H = 8/10 × 30 × 240
⠀⠀=> H = 8/10 × 7200
⠀⠀=> H = 8 × 720
⠀⠀=> H = 5760
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∴ H = 5760 J
Therefore,
- Heat energy generated in the coil, H = 5760 J
