A heater coil is rated 100 W, 200 V. It is cut into two identical parts. Both parts are connected together in parallel to the same source of 200 V. The energy liberated per second in the new combination is:

  1. A 200 W
  2. B 380 W
  3. C 400 W
  4. D 520 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 400 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R = \frac{V^2}{P}\) \(R = \frac{(200 \text{ V})^2}{100 \text{ W}} = 400 \text{ \(\Omega\)}\) \(R_1 = R_2 = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{400 \text{ \(\Omega\)}}{2} = 200 \text{ \(\Omega\)}\) \(R_{eq} = \frac{R_1 \times R_2}{R_1 + R_2} = \frac{200 \text{…
