Heat energy is being produced in a resistance in a circuit at the rate of 100 W. The current of 3 A is flowing in the circuit. What must be the value of the resistance?
Statement 1 : Electric current ( flow of electrons ) creates heat in the resistor.
Statement 2 : Heat in the resistor is created according to the rule of energy conservation.
Explain Statement 1 with the help of Statement 2.
