Page 49 - ... liquid between them, by far the greater portion of the heat is produced in the wire, and not in the liquid in the neighbourhood of the zinc. Though the distribution of the places in which the heat is produced is different in the two cases, yet, since the same changes have gone on in the two cells, it follows from the principle of the Conservation of Energy, that the total amount of heat produced in the two cases must be the same. Thus the total amount of heat produced by the battery cell (a)...
