उत्तर
Joule's law of heating states that heat produced in the resistor is
- directly proportional to the square of the current.
- directly proportional to the resistance.
- directly proportional to the current.
Mathematically,
H = i2Rt
where,
H = Heat produced
I = Current
R = Resistance
t = time
Experimental demonstration
- Take a water heating immersion rod, water, bucket, thermometer, regulator.
- Immerse the water heating immersion rod in the water and measure the time taken to heat the water upto a certain temperature.
- Now increase the current to double with the help of regulator and now measure the time taken to heat the water upto the same temperature.
Then, we will observe that time taken in second case will be one fourth the time taken in earlier case. Hence, it verifies the Joule's law of heating.
Electric fuse, toaster, oven, kettle, are the four applications of Joule's law of heating in daily life.

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.
