JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

Two identical heater filaments are connected first in parallel and then in series. At the same applied voltage, the ratio of heat produced in same time for parallel to series will be:

  1. A \(4: 1\)
  2. B \(2: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 2\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Parallel combination \(H _{ p }=\left[\frac{ V ^2}{\left(\frac{ R }{2}\right)}\right) t =\frac{2 V ^2 t }{ R }\) Series combination \(H _s=\left(\frac{ V ^2}{2 R }\right) t \quad \therefore \frac{ H _{ p }}{ H _{ s }}=4\)
