When flowing through the conductor e. current released 150 kJ of heat. Determine the resistance of the conductor

When flowing through the conductor e. current released 150 kJ of heat. Determine the resistance of the conductor if the current flowed for 1 min, and the voltage at the ends of the conductor is 100 V.

Initial data: Q (released heat when flowing through the current conductor) = 150 kJ (150 * 10 ^ 3 J); t (duration of current flow) = 1 min (60 s); U (voltage at the ends of the conductor) = 100 V.

The resistance of the conductor in question is determined using the Jloule-Lenz law: Q = U ^ 2 * t / R, whence R = U ^ 2 * t / Q.

Calculation: R = 100 ^ 2 * 60 / (150 * 10 ^ 3) = 4 ohms.

Answer: The resistance of the conductor in question is 4 ohms.
