Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 768

Question: Thomson coefficient of a conductor is $ 10\mu V/K $ . The two ends of it are kept at $ 50^{o}C $ and $ 60^{o}C $ respectively. Amount of heat absorbed by the conductor when a charge of 10C flows through it is

[EAMCET 2001]

Options:

A) 1000 J

B) 100 J

C) 100 mJ

D) 1 mJ

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

By using $ H=\sigma Q\theta $

Therefore $ H=(10\times {{10}^{-6}})\times 10\times (60-50)={{10}^{-3}}J=1,,mJ $
