Derive the expression for the heat produced due to a current 'I' flowing for a time interval 't' through a resistor 'R' having a potential difference 'V' across its ends. With which name is this relation known?

उत्तर
Since a conductor offers resistance to the flow of current, some work must be done by the current continuously to keep itself flowing. When an electric charge, Q moves against a potential difference, V, the amount of work done is given by:
W = Q x V (1)
From the definition of current, we know that:
Current,`I=Q/t`
So,`Q=1xxt` (2) And from Ohm's law, we have:
`V/I=R`
or `V=IxxR` (2)
Now, substituting Q = I x t and V = I x R in equation (1), we get:
W = I x t x I x R
So, the work done, W = I2 x R x t
Assuming that all the electrical work done is converted into heat energy:
Heat produced = Work done in the above equation
Thus heat produced, H = I2 x R x t joules
This is known as Joule's law of heating.

Tara, after completing her exams, went to her grandmother's house along with her younger brother Rahul. One day, Rahul came home after playing and switched on the fan and air conditioner. At the same time, his grandmother was preparing a milkshake for him using a mixer. Suddenly, they heard a big sound and the electricity of the house got shut down. Tara is called an electrician. He said the main reason for supply to shut down was overloading.

In a set up the students coated iron nails with zinc metal and noted that, iron nails coated with zinc prevents rusting. They also observed that zinc initially acts as a physical barrier, but an extra advantage of using zinc is that it continues to prevent rusting even if the layer of zinc is damaged. Name this process of rust prevention and give any two other methods to prevent rusting.
