Problem

A resistor of 5 Ω5\,\Omega is connected to a battery that maintains a steady current of 2 A2\,\text{A} through the resistor for 5 min5\,\text{min}. (i) Calculate the electrical energy converted into heat in the resistor during this time, expressing your answer in joules. (ii) Convert the energy obtained in part (i) into calories, taking 1 cal=4.2 J1\,\text{cal} = 4.2\,\text{J}.
