A current of 1.75 A flows through a 55.4 Ω resistor for 9.5 min. How much heat was generated by the resistor? Answer in units of J.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]9.67\times 10^4 J[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Current=I=1.75 A

Resistance =R=55.4 ohm

Time=t=9.5 min=[tex]9.5\times 60=570 s[/tex]

1 min=60 s

We have to find the heat generated by the resistor.

We know that

Heat=E=[tex]I^2Rt[/tex]

Using the formula

Heat,[tex]E=(1.75)^2\times 55.4\times 570=9.67\times 10^{4} J[/tex]

Hence, the heat generated by the resistor =[tex]9.67\times 10^4 J[/tex]

The heat generated in resistor is 1611.8 Joules.

Heat in resistor:

The heat generated in resistor is computed by using formula,

                       [tex]H=i^{2} *R*t[/tex]

Where,

H is heat generated.

i is current.

t is time.

R is resistance of wire.

it is given that, i = 1.75A, R = 55.4 Ω and t = 9.5 min

Substitute all values in above formula.

               [tex]H=(1.75)^{2} *55.4*9.5\\\\H=3.0625*55.4*9.5\\\\H=1611.8 J[/tex]

Hence, the heat generated in resistor is 1611.8 Joules.
