A physicist works in a laboratory where the magnetic field is $2 \,T$. She wears a necklace enclosing area $0.01$ $m_2$ in such a way that the plane of the necklace is normal to the field and is having a resistance $R = 0.01$ $\Omega$. Because of power failure, the field decays to $1 \,T$ in time $10^{-3}$ seconds. Then what is the total heat produced in her necklace ?.......$J$ ($T = Tesla$)
