When a current flows in a wire of resistance R at a constan t potential difference, then the value of heat produced by a current is inversely proportional to:

A cell is connected to a 9 ohm resistance, because of which heat of 400 J is produced per second due to current flowing through it. Obtain the potential difference applied across the resistance.

The heat produced in a wire of resistance 'x' when a current 'y' flows through it in time 'z' is given by:

The heat developed in an electric wire of resistance R by a current I for a time t is

Assertion : A wire of uniform cross-section and uniform resistivity is connected across an ideal cell. Now the length or wire is doubled keeping volume of wire constant. The drift velocity of electrons after stretching the wire becomes one fourth of what it was before streching the wire. Reason: If a wire (or uniform resistivity and uniform cross-section) of length l_(0) is stretched by a factor n, then its resistance becomes n^(2) times the one before stretching the wire (the volume of wire is kept constant in stretching process.) Fruther at constant potential difference, current is inversely proportional to resistance. Drift velocity of free electron is directly proportional to current and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area of current carrying wire.
