Arod of 2.0-m length and a square (2.0 mm x 2.0 mm) cross section is made of a material with a resistivity of 6.0 x 10^-8 0.ω.m. if a potential difference of 0.50 v is placed across the ends of the rod, at what rate is heat generated in the rod?

Heat generated in the rod is 8.33 watts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of rod, l = 2 m

Area of cross section,

Resistivity of rod,

Potential difference, V = 0.5 V

The value of resistance is given by :

R = 0.03 ohms

Let H is the rate at which heat is generated in the rod . It is given by :

Since,

So, the at which heat is generated in the rod is 8.33 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

whichever one it is, it's definitely not one that you included on the list you provided.
