    What exactly is Joule's law of heating?

    Hey Stephen – thanks for getting back to me! I am pretty new to this stuff, so the different concepts (especially voltage) are still a little blurry to me. The example I am thinking of is simply passing a current through a resistor that – to some extent – converts the electrical energy to heat...

    What exactly is Joule's law of heating?

    Hi everyone, I'm struggling to understand what I think is a very basic concept: Joule's law of heating. Allow me to explain my confusion: We know that voltage can be expressed as: V = I · R And power can be expressed as: P = I · V Making power equivalent to: P = I2 · R According to my...
