State the law that explains the heating effect of current with respect to the measurable properties in an electrical circuit.
Answer:
The Joules law of heating explains the heating effect of current with respect to the measurable properties in an electrical circuit.
According to this law, the heat dissipated across the resistor is directly proportional to:
- the square of the current flowing through it
- the resistance of the conductor
- duration of flow of current.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as: H= I2RT
