An electric current of 5 A passing through a resistor has a measured voltage of 6 V across the resistor. The resistor is cylindrical with a diameter of 2.5 cm and length of 15 cm. The resistor has a uniform temperature of 90°C and the room air temperature is 20°C. Assuming that heat transfer by radiation is negligible, determine the heat transfer coefficient by convection.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
