NEET Solved Paper 2016 Question 14

Question: The charge flowing through a resistance R varies with time t as $ Q=at-bt^{2}, $ where a and b are positive constants. The total heat produced in R is:

Options:

A) $ \frac{a^{3}R}{6b} $

B) $ \frac{a^{3}R}{3b} $

C) $ \frac{a^{3}R}{2b} $

D) $ \frac{a^{3}R}{b} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ Q=at-bt^{2} $ $ i=a-2bt $ {for $ i=0\Rightarrow ,t=\frac{a}{2b} $ } From joule’s law of heating $ dH=i^{2}Rdt $ $ H=\int\limits_0^{a/2b}{{{(a-2b)}^{2}}}Rdt $ $ H=\frac{{{(a-2b)}^{3}}R}{-3\times 2b}| _0^{\frac{a}{2b}} .=\frac{a^{3}R}{6b} $
