Depends on the voltage. Wattage is Volts x Amps. Resistance (ohms) is Volts divided by Amps.

So on a 120V circuit, it would draw 41.66 amps. To do that, it would need a resistance of 2.88 ohms. But on a 240V circuit, it would draw 20.83 amps. That would require a resistance of 11.52 ohms.

Determine the circuit voltage, then use that to figure the amps, then use that result to calculate the resistance necessary.

HOW MUCH HEAT DOES 600 VOLTS CREATE?

The amount of heat generated by 600 volts depends on the current flowing through the circuit and the resistance of the materials involved, as described by Joule's law (Q = I²R, where Q is heat, I is current, and R is resistance). Without knowing the current or the resistance, it's impossible to determine the exact amount of heat produced. In general, higher voltage can lead to more heat if current and resistance are also significant.


Why do materials like living cells heat up when electric current passes through them?

Living cells heat up when electric current passes through them due to the resistance of the cell's membrane, as well as the resistance of the internal cellular structures and ions. This resistance causes energy to be dissipated in the form of heat, leading to an increase in temperature.


How does LCD strip thermometers work?

if you are talking about the strips that you put on your forehead it isn't an LCD strip instead there are different thermochromic inks applied to different parts of the strip. when heat is applied to the inks they change colour and with the use of different inks, they change colour at different temperatures because of this, you can see your temperature (: help much?


Why does silver have less resistance?

It doesn't have that much metal.


How much heat is generated in a nuclear fusion?

In nuclear fusion, a small amount of heat is generated due to the high temperatures required to fuse atomic nuclei together. This heat can be harnessed to produce electricity through various methods, such as heating water to create steam to drive a turbine. However, the amount of energy produced by fusion reactions is significantly greater than the heat generated.

Why do materials with high heat capacities heat slowly?

because by definition heat capacity is how much heat the substance needs to change its temperature by 1 degree. It "stores" heat and delivers it back slowly. It has nothing to do with heat resistance which is how much heat it allows through it.

What are the effects of the resistance of a filament wire?

The resistance of a filament wire affects the amount of current passing through it and the amount of heat produced. Higher resistance leads to higher heat generation and light emission, resulting in brighter light. However, too much resistance can cause the filament to overheat and fail prematurely.

How much efficiency do you lose when using a home resistance heater?

You lose a lot of efficiency, since resistance heaters make heat off being inefficient.


Does heat depend on path?

Not really, if you're referring to heat transfer, then the heat will use the path of least resistance. So the heat doesn't rely on the path as much as it does on the material that the heat must travel through.

How is heat made by electricity?

There are many ways how electricity can create heat. For example, passing a current through a wire of high resistance (i.e. a resistor) will generate heat, though not much.


What doesnt conduct heat well?

Heat insulation is defined as the resistance to the flow of heat offered by a material when it is subject to a change in temperature. Objects that put up a lot of resistance to heat flow don't conduct heat well, and are called insulators. Some examples of insulators are wood, rubber and glass. Things that do conduct heat well don't offer much resistance to heat flow. Many metals fall into this category, such as aluminum, copper, and gold. See the link below for more information on heat conduction.


Does the amount of heat produced depend on the material of the conductor?

Yes, resistance in a conductor causes energy losses due to heat. Metals such as Gold and Platinum have very low resistance but they are very expensive so Copper and Aluminium are used instead which are much more affordable but have higher resistance.


How much heat is generated by 1 amp?

The heat generated by an electric current is in watts, Current x volts. So current alone is not enough to define it. By Ohms Law, Volts = Current x Resistance, so another way of expressing watts is (Current squared) x Resistance. If you know the current andthe resistance you can get the wattage, which will give you the heat generated.
