Physics
The amount of heat produced in a wire on passing a current through it depends on:
- the resistance of wire
- the square root of current I passing through the wire.
- the time for which current is passed.
- Both (1) and (3)
Answer
Both (1) and (3)
Reason — The amount of heat produced in a wire on passing current through it, depends on the following three factors.
- The amount of current passing through the wire — The amount of heat H produced in a wire is directly proportional to the square of current I passing through the wire, i.e., H ∝ I2
- The resistance of wire — The amount of heat H produced in the wire is directly proportional to the resistance R of the wire, i.e., H ∝ R.
- The time for which current is passed in the wire — The amount of heat H produced in a wire is directly proportional to the time t for which current is passed in the wire i.e., H ∝ t
