Chapter 22, Problem 92A

To determine

The wire that will transform the energy at a faster rate.

Answer to Problem 92A

The wire with low resistance

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The energy $\left(E\right)$ transformed during time $t$ is given by,

  $E=\frac{V^{2}t}{R}$

Where,R is the resistance and V is the potential difference.

As can be seen from above formula, if the voltage and time is constant, then the energy transformed is inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire.

Conclusion:

Hence, the wire with low resistance will transform the energy at a faster rate.
