Question

What will happen if we pass the current for a long time through a resistor? How can we avoid it?
Medium

Solution

The temperature of the resistor will keep on increasing, as long as we allow the current to flow through it.. We should take out the key to avoid this situation. Heat produced in a conductor is equal to the square of current, multiplied by resistance for a time (t)
