A wire of resistance ' \(R\) ' is bent in the form of a circular loop. Two points on the circle seperated by a quarter circumference are connected to a battery of emf ' \(E\) ' and negligible internal resistance. The heat generated in the wire per second is

  1. A \(\frac{E^2}{4 R}\)
  2. B \(\frac{16 \mathrm{E}^2}{3 \mathrm{R}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{E^2}{R}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 \mathrm{E}^2}{3 \mathrm{R}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{16 \mathrm{E}^2}{3 \mathrm{R}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R_1 = \frac{R}{4}, R_2 = \frac{3R}{4} \) \( R_{eq} = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 + R_2} = \frac{(\frac{R}{4})(\frac{3R}{4})}{\frac{R}{4} + \frac{3R}{4}} = \frac{\frac{3R^2}{16}}{R} = \frac{3R}{16} \) \( P = \frac{E^2}{R_{eq}} = \frac{E^2}{\frac{3R}{16}} = \frac{16E^2}{3R} \)
