  1. 450 J
  2. 4500 J
  3. 45 J
  4. 45000 J

A
45 J
B
450 J
C
4500 J
D

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given:
Current flowing through the resistor I=0.5 A
Resistance R=10Ω
Time for which current flows, t=12 hr=30min=30×60 s=1800 s
By Joule's law of heating, energy consumed by the resistance,
E=I2RT=(0.5)2×10×1800
=4500 J
