Question

On what factors does the heat produced in a wire depend on ?

Answer 1

There is some major factor on which heat produced in the current carrying conductor depends upon. Some of the major ones are Resistance of the conductor: Heat produced in a conductor is the product of the square of the current and resistance ie (P=I*I*R). So, higher the resistance of the conducting wire more is the loss in it.

Answer 2

heat produced in a wire depends upon the following factors:

1) Material of the wire

2) Length of the wire

3) Current flowing in the wire

4) Resistance offered by the wire
