Answer to Problem 1ASA

Joule heating is the process where the energy of an electric current is converted into heat as it flows through a resistance.

Explanation of Solution

Joule heating is the process where the energy of an electric current is converted into heat as it flows through a resistance. Joule's first law or the Joule–Lenz law, states that “the power of heat generated by an electrical conductor is proportional to the product of its resistance and the square of the current”. Despite the fact that it has units of power, it is commonly referred to as joule heat. A given amount of electrical energy absorbed in the resistor produces a fixed amount of heat.

(b)

To determine

The I2R losses.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1ASA

The energy is lost in the form of heat.

Explanation of Solution

The expression for joule heat is given by,

PI2R

Here, P is the power, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Therefore, the energy is lost in the form of heat. The heat which is produced due to the flow of current within an electric wire is expressed in unit of Joules.
