Question

Same length of two identical wires are first connected is series and them in parallel then the amount of heat produced in both the conditions are in the ratio:

Options

A.1 : 4
B.4 : 1
C.3 : 1
D.1 : 2

Solution

       
         
Let the resistance be r for each wire.
Heat generated = I2(2r) = 2I2r
where I is current through both of them. when they are connect in parallel each
will have current = .
Heat generateed = rt × 2 = .
Ratio of heat generated in two case
