A uniform heating wire of resistance \(36\, \Omega\) is connected across a potential difference of \(240\, {V}\) The wire is then cut into half and potential difference of \(240\, {V}\) is applied across each half separately. The ratio of power dissipation in first case to the total power dissipation in the second case would be \(1: {x}\), where \({x}\) is........... .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
First case \({P}_{1}=\frac{{V}^{2}}{{R}}=\frac{(240)^{2}}{36}\)
Second case Resistance of each half \(=18 \,\Omega\)
\({P}_{2}=\frac{(240)^{2}}{18}+\frac{(240)^{2}}{18}=\frac{(240)^{2}}{9}\)
\(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4}\)
\({x}=4.00\)
