Which of the four resistances \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\) generate the greatest amount of heat when a current flows from \(A\) to \(B\) ?

  1. A \(Q\)
  2. B \(S\)
  3. C \(P\)
  4. D \(R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(S\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}_{1}=\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{Q}=2\, \Omega+4 \,\Omega=6\, \Omega\) \(\mathrm{R}_{2}=\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{S}=1 \,\Omega+2 \,\Omega=3 \,\Omega\) \(\mathrm{I}_{1} \mathrm{R}_{1}=\mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{R}_{2}\)…
