Question
Two filaments of same length are connected first in series then in parallel. For the same amount of main current flowing the ratio of the heat produced is :
Options
A.1 : 2
B.4 : 1
C.1 : 4
D.2 : 1
Solution
Let main current be I & let the resistance of each wire be R.
In the first case heat produced = I2Rt + I2Rt = 2I2Rt
In the second case heat produced
Ratio =
= 4:1
In the first case heat produced = I2Rt + I2Rt = 2I2Rt
In the second case heat produced
Ratio =
= 4:1Create a free account to view solution
