A power supply is linked to a component by connecting wires whose total resistance is $4.9\,\Omega$. The power supply delivers an output power of $3.6\,\text{W}$ and has a terminal potential difference of $12\,\text{V}$. Calculate the amount of thermal energy dissipated in the connecting wires during a time of $1.0$ hour?
- A$0.44\,\text{J}$
- B$29\,\text{J}$
- C$1.6\,\text{kJ}$
- D$11\,\text{kJ}$
