Joule heating is referred to as ohmic heating or resistive heating because of its relationship to Ohm's Law. It forms the basis for the myriad of practical applications involving electric heating. However, in applications where heating is an unwanted by-product of current use (e.g., load losses in electrical Transformers) the diversion of energy is often referred to as resistive loss. The use of high voltages in electric power transmission systems is specifically designed to reduce such losses in cabling by operating with commensurately lower currents. The ring circuits, or ring mains, used in UK homes are another example, where power is delivered to outlets at lower currents, thus reducing Joule heating in the wires. Joule heating does not occur in superconducting materials, as these materials have zero electrical resistance in the superconducting state. so it is sometimes desirable and sometimes not............

Are all changes desirable?

Are all changes desirable? Clearly not. Example: "lets change the notion of educating our children, to never educating them" All changes are not desirable. Then ask: Is any change always desirable? No. Should the prospect of change be desirable? Sometimes. The answer depends on perception, intention and outcome. The only truth with almost near certainty is to state the following: Change can be desirable.

Is roast beef a summer food?

This is a personal opinion: I wouldn't consider it a summer food, because in order to prepare 'roast beef' of any kind, you must heat your oven. Heating your oven in summer isn't always desirable, especially if the temperature is already hot.


How much heat energy would be required to bring a 15 kg block of ice from -20 degrees Celsius to steam at 120 degrees Celsius?

To bring the ice block to 0 degrees Celsius, you would need 150,000 Joules (Q = mcΔT). To melt the ice at 0 degrees Celsius, you would need 3,375,000 Joules (Q = mLf). Heating the water from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius would require 1,500,000 Joules (Q = mcΔT). Turning the water to steam at 100 degrees Celsius would need 10,500,000 Joules (Q = mLv). Finally, heating the steam to 120 degrees Celsius would require 600,000 Joules (Q = mcΔT). In total, you would need 15,125,000 Joules of heat energy.
