(N/A) Joule's law of heating states that the heat produced $(H)$ in a conductor is directly proportional to the square of the current $(I)$ flowing through it, the resistance $(R)$ of the conductor, and the time $(t)$ for which the current flows.
Mathematically, it is expressed as: $H = I^{2}Rt$
Where:
$H$ = Heat produced in Joules $(J)$
$I$ = Current in Amperes $(A)$
$R$ = Resistance in Ohms $(\Omega)$
$t$ = Time in seconds $(s)$
