How and how many times does the amount of heat released in the first and second conductors differ?
How and how many times does the amount of heat released in the first and second conductors differ? R1 = 200 Om R2 = 50 Om chain in series
R1 = 200 Ohm.
R2 = 50 Ohm.
Q1 / Q2 -?
The amount of thermal energy Q that is released in the conductor through which the electric current flows is determined by the Joule-Lenz law: Q = I2 * R * t, where I is the current in the conductor, R is the resistance of the conductor, t is the time the current passes through the conductor …
Q1 = I12 * R1 * t1.
Q2 = I22 * R2 * t2.
Since when the conductors are connected in series, they have the same current strength I1 = I2 and the current passage time is also the same t1 = t2.
Q1 / Q2 = I12 * R1 * t1 / I22 * R2 * t2 = R1 / R2.
Q1 / Q2 = 200 ohms / 50 ohms = 4.
Answer: when connected in series, in a conductor with resistance R1, heat energy will be released 4 times more than in resistance R2: Q1 / Q2 = 4.
