उत्तर
Joule's law of heating states that the heat dissipated across a resistor is directly proportional to:
- The square of the current flowing through it.
- The resistance of the conductor.
- Duration of the flow of current.

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.
