Question
How much energy is consumed when a current of 5 amperes flows through the filament (or element) of a heater having resistance of 100 ohms for two hours? Express it in joules.
Solution
Given:
I = 5 A
R = 100 Î
Power consumed, P= I2R
= (5)2 100 watt
= 2500 watts=2.5 kW
Energy consumed, E = P x time
= 2.5 x 2
= 5 kWh

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm's Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes E1 & E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills the tube 2.
