Heat Energy given Electric Potential Difference and Resistance Calculator

Calculate Heat Energy







Formula

The formula to calculate Heat Energy (PQ) is:

\[ PQ = \frac{\Delta V^2}{R} \cdot t \]

Where:

Definition

Heat Rate is the amount of energy required by an electrical generator or a power plant to produce a one-kilowatt hour of electricity.

Electric Potential Difference is the voltage across two points in a circuit, measured in volts, and is the driving force behind electric current flow.

Electric Resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current and is measured in ohms, representing how much a material hinders electric current flow.

Time Period is the duration of one cycle of an alternating current, which is the time taken by the current to complete one oscillation.

How to calculate Heat Energy given Electric Potential Difference and Resistance

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PQ = \frac{\Delta V^2}{R} \cdot t \]

Evaluating:

\[ PQ = \frac{18^2}{15} \cdot 29.63 \]

The Heat Energy is 640.008 Joules.
