MCQ
According to Joule's law, if the potential difference across a conductor having a material of specific resistance remains constant, then the heat produced in the conductor is directly proportional to
  • A
    $\rho $
  • B
    ${\rho ^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt \rho }}$
  • $\frac{1}{\rho }$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{\rho }$
d
(d) $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$ but $R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{\rho l/A}} = \frac{{A{V^2}}}{{\rho l}}$. Since $\frac{{A{V^2}}}{l}$is constant as per given conditions So $P \propto \frac{1}{\rho }$.
