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 answerAis proportional to $\Delta T$ and /
- Bis proportional to $I^3$ and $\Delta T$
- Cis proportional to Thomson coefficient of the metal
- Dis 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'.
