400 J of heat is produced each second in a resistance. Find the current passing through it.
Question
400 J of heat is produced each second in a resistance. Find the current passing through it.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for power, which is P = IV, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage. However, we don't have the voltage in this problem.
But we know that power can also be calculated by the formula P = I^2R, where R is resistance.
Given that the power P is 400 J/s (or Watts), we can rearrange the formula to solve for I (current):
I = sqrt(P/R)
Without the value of the resistance R, we cannot calculate the current I.
So, we need more information to solve this problem.
