This is your task.
Problem 1: A 200-ohm resistor is connected to a 12-volt battery. Calculate the heat produced when a current of 0.5 amperes flows through it for 3 minutes.
Solution: Given: Resistance (R) = 200 ohms Voltage (V) = 12 volts Current (I) = 0.5 amperes Time (t) = 3 minutes = 180 seconds
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = I^2 * R * t
H = (0.5)^2 * 200 * 180 H = 5 * 200 * 180 H = 180,000 joules
So, the heat produced is 180,000 joules.
Problem 2: If a 100-watt electric bulb is turned on for 2 hours, how much heat is produced?
Solution: Given: Power (P) = 100 watts Time (t) = 2 hours = 7200 seconds
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = P * t
H = 100 * 7200 H = 720,000 joules
So, the heat produced is 720,000 joules.
Problem 3: A 5-ohm resistor is connected to a 9-volt battery. Calculate the current passing through the resistor and the heat produced in 2 minutes.
Solution: Given: Resistance (R) = 5 ohms Voltage (V) = 9 volts Time (t) = 2 minutes = 120 seconds
Using Ohm’s law to find current (I): I = V / R I = 9 / 5 I = 1.8 amperes
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = I^2 * R * t
H = (1.8)^2 * 5 * 120 H = 1.44 * 5 * 120 H = 864 joules
So, the current passing through the resistor is 1.8 amperes, and the heat produced is 864 joules.
Problem 4: A heating element has a resistance of 20 ohms. If a current of 2 amperes passes through it, calculate the heat produced in 5 minutes.
Solution: Given: Resistance (R) = 20 ohms Current (I) = 2 amperes Time (t) = 5 minutes = 300 seconds
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = I^2 * R * t
H = (2)^2 * 20 * 300 H = 4 * 20 * 300 H = 24,000 joules
So, the heat produced is 24,000 joules.
Problem 5: A 12-volt battery is connected to a 4-ohm resistor. Calculate the power dissipated as heat in the resistor.
Solution: Given: Voltage (V) = 12 volts Resistance (R) = 4 ohms
Using Ohm’s law to find current (I): I = V / R I = 12 / 4 I = 3 amperes
Using the formula for power (P): P = I^2 * R
P = (3)^2 * 4 P = 9 * 4 P = 36 watts
So, the power dissipated as heat in the resistor is 36 watts.
Problem 6: A hairdryer has a power rating of 1200 watts. Calculate the heat produced by the hairdryer in 10 minutes of operation.
Solution: Given: Power (P) = 1200 watts Time (t) = 10 minutes = 600 seconds
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = P * t
H = 1200 * 600 H = 720,000 joules
So, the heat produced by the hairdryer is 720,000 joules.
Problem 7: A 6-volt battery is connected to a 3-ohm resistor. Calculate the current passing through the resistor.
Solution: Given: Voltage (V) = 6 volts Resistance (R) = 3 ohms
Using Ohm’s law to find current (I): I = V / R I = 6 / 3 I = 2 amperes
So, the current passing through the resistor is 2 amperes.
Problem 8
A circuit has a total resistance of 30 ohms, and a current of 4 amperes flows through it. Calculate the heat produced in 15 minutes.
Solution:
Given:
- Total Resistance (R_total) = 30 ohms
- Current (I) = 4 amperes
- Time (t) = 15 minutes = 900 seconds
First, find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
Using Ohm’s Law: V = I * R
V = 4 * 30 V = 120 volts
Now, use Joule’s Law: H = I^2 * R_total * t
H = (4)^2 * 30 * 900 H = 16 * 30 * 900 H = 432,000 joules
So, the heat produced in the circuit is 432,000 joules.
Problem 9: A 250-ohm resistor is connected to a 24-volt battery. Calculate the heat produced when a current of 0.2 amperes flows through it for 10 minutes.
Solution: Given: Resistance (R) = 250 ohms Voltage (V) = 24 volts Current (I) = 0.2 amperes Time (t) = 10 minutes = 600 seconds
Using the formula for heat produced (H): H = I^2 * R * t
H = (0.2)^2 * 250 * 600 H = 0.04 * 250 * 600 H = 6,000 joules
So, the heat produced is 6,000 joules.
Problem 10: A 15-ohm resistor is connected to a 12-volt battery. Calculate the power dissipated as heat in the resistor and the current passing through it.
Solution: Given: Resistance (R) = 15 ohms Voltage (V) = 12 volts
Using Ohm’s law to find current (I): I = V / R I = 12 / 15 I = 0.8 amperes
Using the formula for power (P): P = I^2 * R
P = (0.8)^2 * 15 P = 0.64 * 15 P = 9.6 watts
So, the power dissipated as heat in the resistor is 9.6 watts, and the current passing through it is 0.8 amperes.
