Two electric resistors have equal values of resistance \(R\). Each can be operated with a power of 320 watts ( \(W\) ) at 220 volts. If the two resistors are connected in series to a 110 volts electric supply, then the power generated in each resistor is

  1. A 90 watts
  2. B 80 watts
  3. C 60 watts
  4. D 20 watts
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 20 watts

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power, \(P=\frac{V^2}{R}\) \[ R=\frac{V^2}{P} \] Here, \(\quad P=320\) watts \(V=220\) volts When the resistors are connected in series, then power developed across each resistor,…
