: Where ''Q'' is the heat generated by a constant current ''I'' flowing through a conductor of Electrical Resistance ''R'', for a Time ''t''. When current, resistance and time are expressed in Ampere s, Ohm s, and Second s respectively, are used the Unit of ''Q'' is the Joule . Joule's law is sometimes called the Joule-Lenz law since it was later independently discovered by Heinrich Lenz . The heating effect of conductors carrying currents is known as Joule Heating .
