What amount of heat is released in a conductor in 10 minutes if, at a voltage of 20 V, the current in it is 0.2 A?

Determine, from Ohm’s law, the resistance of an electrical circuit.

I = U / R.

R = U / I = 20 / 0.2 = 100 Ohm.

According to the Joule-Lenz law, we determine the amount of heat released in the conductor.

Q = I ^ 2 * R * t = 0.2 ^ 2 * 100 * 10 * 60 = 2400 J = 2.4 kJ.

Answer: The amount of heat is 2.4 kJ.
