Question

A current I flows through a resistance R for the time 't', the electric energy consumed by the resistance is:

Options

• $$\mathrm{I} \times \mathrm{R} \times t$$

• $$\mathrm{I} \times \mathrm{R}^{2} \times t$$

• $$\mathrm{I}^{2} \times \mathrm{R} \times t$$

• $$\frac{I^2 \times R}{t}$$

Answer 1

$$\mathrm{I}^{2} \times \mathrm{R} \times t$$

Explanation:

The electrical energy produced in a resistance is $$W = I^2Rt$$.

The other options either use incorrect powers of current or resistance, or divide by time instead of multiplying by it.
