CONCEPT:

  • Whenever a current is flowing in the resistance then heat is produced in it.
  • The phenomenon of producing heat by the electric current is called as the heating effect of electric current.
  • The amount of heat produced (H) in joules = I2Rt 
  • But we know that, V = IR
  • Therefore, The amount of heat produced (H) in joules = I2Rt = VIt

Where I = current, R = resistance, t = the time taken, and V = electric potential 

EXPLANATION:

Given - I = 2 A, V = 24 V and t = 5 min = 5 × 60 sec = 300 sec

  • The amount of heat produced (H) in joules is

⇒ H = VIt

⇒ H = 24 × 2 × 300 = 14400 J
