Electrical Power & Heating Effect

A 5∘C5^\circ\text{C} rise in temperature is observed in a conductor by passing a current. When the current is doubled the rise in temperature will be approximately

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Heat H=I2RtH = I^2 R t, and temperature rise ΔT∝H∝I2\Delta T \propto H \propto I^2.
  2. Doubling II makes ΔT\Delta T four times: 4×5=20∘C4 \times 5 = 20^\circ\text{C}.
  3. So the answer is (c) 20∘C20^\circ\text{C}.
