Two resistors having equal resistances ...

Two resistors having equal resistances are joined in series and a current is passed through the combination. Neglect any variation in resistance as the temperature changes. In a given time interval,

A

unequal amount of thermal energy may be produced

B

equal amount of thermal energy may be produced

C

the temperature may rise equally is the resistance

D

the temperature may must equally is the resistance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,c

Heat produced, `H = I^(2) Rt`. since `I,R and t` are same for the two resistors, hence equal amount of thermal energy must be temperature Also `H= mc theta`, therefore the temperature may rise equllty in the resistors if there sp-beat in same otherwise not.
