The resistance in which the maximum heat is produced is given by `( Fig. 7.43 )`

A

`2 omega`

B

`6 Omega`

C

`4 Omega`

D

`12 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
All resistances are in parallel.
so for parallel combination
`H = (V^(2))/( R ) t or H prop (1)/( R )`
