define joules law of heating
Answers
Joule heating, also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating, is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces heat.
Explanation:
the principle that the rate of production of heat by a constant direct current is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit and to the square of the current. the principle that the internal energy of a given mass of an ideal gas is solely a function of its temperature.
When an electric current is passed through a high resistance wire, like nichrome wire, the resistance wire becomes very hot and produces heat. This effect is known as heating effect of current or Joule's law of heating.
Explanation:
Joule's law of heating states that power of heating generated by an electrical conductor is proportional to the product of its resistance (R) and square of the electric current passing through the conductor with time.
