A convex lens cannot produce heat. It can focus incident heat to a smaller area so that it is more intense.

How to calculate heat produced in the resistance?

It takes approximately 4.184 Joules of heat to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree C. 1 Joule is the energy of 1 Watt for 1 second (or 3,600,000 Joules equals 1 Kilowatt-hour). In more real world numbers: It takes 69.7 watts 1 minute to heat a liter of water 1 degree C; or 146.6 watts in 1 minute to heat a gallon of water 1 degree F. A watt is a watt, weather it comes from resistance, radiant or induction. The only variations will come from the efficientcy of the heat source's design and how it is being used.


A flat iron that has a resistance of 10 ohms is used for about 4 hourshow much heat is produced if the current is 10 amperes?

This can be calculate quite simply using the following steps. First calculate the power loss (as heat energy) from the iron using the relationship: P= I2R, P is power in Watts, I is current in Amps, R is resistance in Ohms. In this case P = 102 x 10 = 1000 W Next convert 4 hours into the standard time unit, seconds. 4 hours = 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 4 hours = 14400s Finally calculate how much heat energy is produced during this time using the relationship: E = Pt, P is power in Watts, E is energy in Joules, t is time in seconds. In this case E = 1000 x 14400 = 14400000 J Or more appropriately 14.4 MJ (megajoules). Hope this helps, Tom

What is the heat generation formula used to calculate the amount of heat produced in a system?

The heat generation formula used to calculate the amount of heat produced in a system is Q mcT, where Q represents the amount of heat produced, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and T is the change in temperature.

How did Benjamin Thompson's experiment disprove the caloric theory?

Benjamin Thompson's experiment, where he showed that metal can be melted by friction produced by boring a cannon, disproved the caloric theory by demonstrating that heat could be produced by mechanical work rather than through the transfer of a mysterious fluid called caloric. This experiment challenged the prevailing understanding of heat as a fluid and supported the emerging kinetic theory of heat.


How much heat would a 1400 watt heating element and 11.7 amps produce?

To calculate the heat produced by the heating element, multiply the power (1400 watts) by the time it is used. Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A). So, the heat produced will be 1400 watts.

How to calculate the efficiency of a heat engine?

To calculate the efficiency of a heat engine, you can use the formula: Efficiency (Work output / Heat input) x 100. This formula compares the amount of useful work produced by the engine to the amount of heat energy it takes in. The efficiency is expressed as a percentage, with higher percentages indicating a more efficient engine.


What percentage of radiation is produced in comparison to the amount of heat produced?

The percentage of radiation produced compared to the amount of heat produced depends on the source of heat. For example, in a typical fire, about 70-90% of the heat produced is in the form of radiation. In contrast, for electric heating sources, the percentage of radiation produced is lower as most of the heat is convective.


Why would you use convex lens to start a fire?

A convex lens can concentrate sunlight to a small point, creating intense heat that can ignite materials. By focusing sunlight through a convex lens onto a combustible material, you can generate enough heat to start a fire. This process is called solar or lens fire starting.
