View full question & answer→a. The mathematical expression of the Joules Law of heating is: $\mathrm{H}=\mathrm{I}^{2} \mathrm{Rt}$
Here, H is a heating effect, I is the current flowing through the device and t is the time taken.
b. Given:
Amount of charge transferred $=96000 \mathrm{C}$
Time taken $=2 \mathrm{hrs}=2 \times 60 \times 60 \mathrm{sec}=7200 \mathrm{sec}$
Potential difference $=40 \mathrm{~V}$
Heat generated $=\mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{I} \times \mathrm{t}$
and we know that; $\mathrm{I}=\frac{Q}{t}$
So, $\mathrm{H}=$ VQ
$=40 \times 96000$
$=3.84 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$
