A resistance coil is made by joining in parllel two resistances each of `10 Omega`. An emf of 1.0V is applied between the two ends of the coil for 5 minutes. Calculate the heat produced in calories. (Given 1 cal. = 4.2 J)

Answer» Here, `R_(1) = 10 Omega, R_(2)= 10 Omega`,
`V = 1.0 V, t = 5 xx 60s`
Effective resistance in parallel combination will be `R_(p) = (R_(1) R_(2))/(R_(1) + R_(2)) = ( 10 xx 10)/( 10 +10) = 5 Omega`,
Heat produced `= V^(2)/R_(p) t = 1^(2)/5 xx 5 xx 60 J`
`= 60/4.2 cal = 14.3` cal.
