Question
State three factors on which the heat produced by an electric current depends. How does it depend on these factors?

Answer
Heat produced by an electric current depends on the following factors:
- Heat produced is directly proportional to square of current.
- Heat produced is directly proportional to resistance.
- Heat produced is directly proportional to the time for which current flows.
