Q.

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:        [2023]

1 4 : 1  
2 2 : 1  
3 1 : 2  
4 1 : 4  

Ans.

(1)

Parallel combination;

          HP=(V2(R2))t=2V2tR

Series combination;

        HS=(V22R)t

  HPHS=4
