Compute the Heat Generated while Transferring 96000 Coulombs of Charge in one hour through a Potential Difference of 50 V.

Answer: Given: Charge (Q) = 96000 C Time (t) = 1hr, 3600s        In 1 min = 60s So, 1hr = 60 * 60 =  Expected contrast (V) = 50 V First, we need to find out the current I = Q/t I = (96000)/ (3600) I = (80/3) A Now let us find out the amount of heat generated by utilizing the below formula, H = V × I × t H = 50 × (80/3) × 3600 H = 4.8 × 106 J Hence, we can say that the generated heat is 4.8 x 106 J.
