1.

(a) On what factors does the heating effect of current depend and how? (b) Establish the relationship between 1 kWh and SI unit of energy.​

Answer»

Explanation:

  • When current flows through a conductor, heat energy is generated in the conductor. The heating effect of an electric current depends on three factors: The resistance, R of the conductor. A higher resistance produces more heat.
  • The SI unit of energy is JOULE and its commercial unit is kWh.

The RELATIONSHIP between 1 kWh and SI unit of energy is as FOLLOWS:

1 kWh = 1 kW x 1 h

= 1000 W x 3600 s

1 watt - second = 1 joule

1 kWh = 3600000 J
