A potential difference of 5v is used to produce a current of 4A for 4 hours through a heating coil. What is the heat produced. a 80j
b 4.8kj
c 20j
d 4800kj

Explanation:

Heat generated by the coil is expressed as;

Heat generated = Power ×Time

Heat generated = IVt

I is the current = 4A

V is the voltage= 5V

t is the time = 4hrs

Convert to secs

t = 4(3600) = 14400secs

Substitute into the formula

Heat generated = 4×5×14400

Heat generated = 20×14400

Heat generated = 288000Joules

Heat generated =288KJ

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
