CBSE Class 10 Answered

Sir,regarding Joules' law of heating somewhere in the book, it is written H=I^2 Rt and somewhere it is written H=VIt/4.2 cal. It is right that IR is substituted for V. But, Sir please note that I have a calorimeter(Joules apparatus)with a thermometer. But the thermometer will give reading in celsius. So please tell me how to change celsius in calorie or joule. It is also written on the calorimeter:1 volt,6 amp. What does this mean, I do not understand. Also please tell me why in the formula, it is written 4.2 cal. Please give full explanation about how to carry out this experiment.

Pls post one query at a time.
 
Amount of heat, Q = Mass x specific heat x change in temperature
H = I2Rt Joule
1 cal = 4.2 J
So, H = (I2Rt)/4.2 cal
         = (VIt)/4.2 cal
