A battery of emf 12 V12\,\text{V} having negligible internal resistance is connected to a single resistor of resistance 10 Ω10\,\Omega. (i) Calculate the current through the resistor. (ii) Determine the power converted to heat in the resistor. (iii) The circuit is kept on for 55 minutes. Find the electrical energy converted to heat during this interval, expressing your answer in joules and in kilowatt–hours.
