    Heat and power developed in a resistor
    1. Heat and Power developed in a resistor

    Heat developed in a resistor: When a steady current flows through a resistance R for time $t$, the loss in electric potential energy appears as increased thermal energy(Heat H) of resistor and $H=i^2 R t$

    The power developed $=\frac{\text { energy }}{\text { time }}=i^2 R=i R=\frac{V^2}{R} \quad$ (from Ohm's law)
    Unit of heat is the joule (J)
    Unit of power is watt (W)
