In an electrical appliance in 45 minutes when a current of 5A passes, 162J work is done.

In an electrical appliance in 45 minutes when a current of 5A passes, 162J work is done. What will be the resistance of the device?

t = 45 min = 2700 s.

I = 5 A.

A = 162 J.

R -?

The work of the current is determined by the Joule-Lenz law: A = I * U * t, where is the current strength, U is the voltage, t is the time of passage of the current.

U = I * R – Ohm’s law.

A = I ^ 2 * R * t.

R = A / I ^ 2 * t.

R = 162 J / (5 A) ^ 2 * 2700 s = 0.0024 Ohm.

Answer: the resistance of the electrical device is R = 0.0024 Ohm.
