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.
H = `"I"^2 "Rt"`

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.
- What is overloading?
- Is overloading and short the same? When does short-circuiting take place?
- How can the effects of overloading be avoided?
Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.
| Student | Object | Mass of Object before Rusting in g |
Mass of the coated object in g |
| A | Nail | 3.0 | 3.15 |
| B | Thin plate | 6.0 | 6.33 |
What might be the reason for the varied observations of the two students?
