The type of energy that moves between two materials with varying temperatures is referred to by scientists as heat. Because the average translational kinetic energy per molecule in the two materials varies, an energy transfer takes place. Up until thermal equilibrium is attained, heat is transferred from the substance with the higher temperature to the material with the lower temperature. The joule, with 1 joule equalling 1 newton meter, is the SI unit of heat. Imagine the following situation to better comprehend what happens when this energy transfer takes place: Tiny rubber balls are bouncing all over two distinct containers that are full with them. The difference between the average ball speed in one container and the second container is substantial.
(a) Circular metal wires in electrical circuits may have different cross-sectional areas (different diameters) and different lengths. For a given applied voltage, how would the joule heat vary with these parameters
