A constant voltage is applied between two ends of a metallic wire. If the length is halved and the radius of the wire is doubled, the rate of heat developed in the wire will be

  1. A Increased \(8\) times
  2. B Doubled
  3. C Halved
  4. D Unchanged
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Increased \(8\) times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of heat i.e., Power developed in the wire \(=P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}\) Resistance of the wire of length, \(L\) \(R_{1}=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{\rho L}{\pi r^{2}}\) \(\therefore\) Power, \(P_{1}=\frac{V^{2}}{R_{1}}\) Resistance of the wire when length is halved i.e., \(L / 2\)…
