If two wires having resistance R and 2 R . Both joined in series and in parallel then ratio of heat generated in this situation, applying the same voltage,

A

`2:1`

B

`1:2`

C

`2:9`

D

`9:2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`R_(1)=R+2R =3R`
`R_(1)= (R xx 2R)/(R+2R) =(2R^(2))/(3R)=(2)/(3)R`
`(R_(2))/(R_(1)) =(V^(2))/(R_(2)) xx (R_(1))/(V^(2)) rArr (2R)/(3xx 3R) =2:9`
