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
  1. is proportional to $\Delta T$ and /
  2. is proportional to $I^3$ and $\Delta T$
  3. is proportional to Thomson coefficient of the metal
  4. is proportional to $\Delta T$ only

Solution

The heat developed per unit time in given condition is proportional to $\Delta T$ and $I$.
