प्रश्न
When a current passes through a resistor, its temperature increases. Is it an adiabatic process?
Advertisements
उत्तर
No, the rise in the temperature of a resistor on passing current through it is not an adiabatic process. In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange between the system and the surroundings. Here, some part of Joule's heat developed inside the resistor increases the temperature of the resistor and the remaining part is dissipated in the surroundings. Thus, the given process cannot be adiabatic.
