When a potential difference \(V\) is applied across a wire of resistance \(R\), it dissipates energy at a rate \(W\). If the wire is cut into two halves and these halves are connected mutually parallel across the same supply, the same supply, the energy dissipation rate will become what?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(4 \mathrm{~W}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{R}}=\mathrm{W}\) \(....(i)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)}=\mathrm{W}^{\prime}\) \(...(ii)\)
From \((i)\)&\((ii)\), we get
\(W^{\prime}=4 W\)
