A potential difference of 12V is applied across the ends of a 6Ω resistor for 10 minutes. Determine the quantity of heat generated

  • A. 720J
  • B. 1200J
  • C. 14400J
  • D. 43200J

Correct Answer: C. 14400J

Explanation

Q = \(\frac{V^2 t}{R}\)

= \frac{12^2 \times 10 \times 60}{6}\)

= 14400J
