Question

Compute the heat generated while transferring 96000 coulombs of charge in two hours through a potential difference of 40 V.

Answer 1

Given:

Charge (Q) = 96000 C,

Time (t) = 2h,

Potential difference (V) = 40V

The heat generated,

H = VIt

= `"V" xx "Q"/"t" xx "t"`

= V × Q

= 40 × 96000

= 3840000 J
