Q.

H1 and H2 are heats produced by two copper wires having the same length and different diameters when they are connected in series and parallel respectively. From the above, we infer what of the following

1 H1 > H2  
2 H1 < H2  
3 H1 = H2  
4 H1  H2   

Ans.

(1)

When wires are connected in series, Rs=R1+R2

In parallel,

 Rp=R1 R2R1+R2: Rs>Rp: H2<H1 [HR]

Then H1 > H2
