Solution

Q.
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 energy dissipation rate will become [2024]

1 1/4 W

2 1/2 W

3 2W

4 4W

Ans.
(4)

$W = \frac{V^{2}}{R}$ ...(1)

and $R = \frac{ρ ℓ}{A}$

Now

$R_{eq} = \frac{R}{4}$

$W' = \frac{V^{2}}{\frac{R}{4}} = \frac{4 V^{2}}{R} = 4 W$
