Calculate the amount of heat generated in an external load of resistance  8Ω if an alternating current of peak value 5A is passed through for 100s.

A.

20,000J

B.

10,000J

C.

5,000J

D.

4,000J

E.

200J

Correct answer is A

E=I\(^2\)rt

E=5\(^2\) * 8 * 100

E=20000j

Heat Energy Generated(Q) ⇔ Energy(E)
Q = 20000j
