State joules Law of heating:Â Joule’s law of heating states that the total heat energy generated in an electrical conductor is proportional to the square of the current passing through it and the resistance of the conductor. This law was first formulated in 1841 by James Prescott Joule and is also known as Joule’s Law…
What is the full form of LASER? LASER full form: LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It is an optical device that produces a powerful beam of light through the process of stimulated emission. The intensity of the beam is much greater than regular light, and its properties are used in…
