H=(V^2)/(R)* t is the equation that represents the Joule's law of heating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joule's law of heating defines the heat generated by any current flowing conductor is directly proportional to

1. Square of Current (I²),

2. Resistance of the conductor (R)

3. Time for which current is passed (t)

Hence, Heat generated =
H = I^2 Rt .....................(1)

By Ohm's Law, the potential difference (V) across a conductor is directly proportional to the current(I) flowing through it. The constant of proportionality is termed as resistance of the conductor (R).


V\ \alpha\ I\\V=I* R ...............................................(2)

From (2), Current (I) can be rewritten as


I = (V)/(R) ........................................................(3)

Substituting (3) in (1), we get


H = I^2* R* t \\=((V)/(R) )^2* R* t\\\\=(V^2)/(R^2)* R* t = (V^2)/(R)* t\\\\ H =(V^2)/(R)* t
