State and explain Joule's Law of Heating?

Joule’s law is an expression of the rate at which the resistance of a circuit changes electric energy into heat energy. The heat produced due to the flow of this current in an electric wire is represented in Joules.

Joule’s law of heating denotes the connection between heat generated via a conductor by flowing electric current.

Q = I² x R x T

Where Q is the amount of heat
I is the electric current
R is the amount of electric resistance in the conductor
T denotes time

As we know that

V = W/Q ----- (1)

Where

V = Volt
W = Work done
Q = Total charge

From equation 1, we get

W = VQ ----- (2)

Current (I) = Q/T ----- (3)

And

Q = IT ----- (4)

Substituting equation (4) in equation (3) we get

W = VIT ----- (5)

Considering Ohm’s law

V = IR ----- (6)

Now, substituting equation (6) in equation (5) we get

W = IRIT

W = I²RT

A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.
