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,

equal amounts of thermal energy must be produced in the resistors

unequal thermal energy may be produced

the temperature must rise equally in the resistor

the temperature must rise unequally in the resistors.
