Question
State the law that explains the heating effect of current with respect to the measurable properties in an electrical circuit.

Solution
Joule's law of heating states that the heat dissipated across a resistor is directly proportional to:
- The square of the current flowing through it.
- The resistance of the conductor.
- Duration of the flow of current.
H = `"I"^2 "Rt"`
