The ends of an element of zinc wire are kept at a small temperature difference $\Delta T$ and a small current $I$ is passed through the wire. Then, the heat developed per unit time

  • A
    is proportional to $\Delta T$ and $I$
  • B
    is proportional to $I^3$ and $\Delta T$
  • C
    is proportional to Thomson coefficient of the metal
  • D
    is proportional to $\Delta T$ only
