When a current of $4.0A$ passes through a certain resistor for $10$ minutes,$ 2.88 \times 10J$ of heat are produced. Calculate:
  1. The power of the resistor.
  2. The voltage across the resistor.

Given$: I = 4$ amp, $t = 10$min $= 10 \times 60 = 600 $sec, $H = 2.88 \times 10^4J$
  1. We have
$K = I^2RT$
$28800 = 4^2 \times R \times 600$
$R = 3$ ohm
We know that
$P = I^2\times R$
$= 4^2 \times 3$
$P = 48W$
  1. $V = ?$
We know that
$V = IR$
$V = 4 \times 3$
$V = 12V$
