If H(heat) depends on I, R, t, then find the formula for H using dimensional analysis
Dear student
Heat energy produced = power * time duration = I2 R t = V2 t / R
H = Ik Rm Tn
Let us try to find the dimensions of current in known units.
Force = charge * electric field = current * time * voltage /distance
current = Force * distance / (time * voltage)
= force * distance/(time * current * resistance)
I = M L T-2 * L / (T * I * R) = M L2T-3 I-2 R-1
I² = M L2 T-3 R-1
I = M1/2 L T-3/2 R-1/2
M L² T⁻² R0 = energy = Ik Rm Tn
= Mk/2 Lk T-3k/2 R-k/2 * Rm * Tn
Equating the powers of the units :
k = 2 n = 1 m = 1
Hence, H = I2 R T
