Expert Answer
Heat generated per unit time (i.e., power, as in Watts, Joules per second) is given by
P = VI =RI2 where V is the voltage across the wire (Volts),
R is the wire resistance (Ohms), and
I is the current (Ampere).
Therefore, amount of heat generated in time t
= RI2t
= 8 x (15x15) x (2x60x60) [assuming resistance is 8 ohms. u didnt give the unit]
= 12960 kJ
