Q152 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2013 · Physics

The ends of an element of zinc wire are kept at a small temperature difference $\Delta T$ and a small current $(I)$ is passed through the wire. Then, the heat developed per unit time

  • Correct answer
    A
    is proportional to $\Delta T$ and /
  • B
    is proportional to $I^3$ and $\Delta T$
  • C
    is proportional to Thomson coefficient of the metal
  • D
    is proportional to $\Delta T$ only

Solution

The heat developed per unit time in given condition is proportional to $\Delta T$ and $I$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
