In the given circuit, connect a nichrome wire of Length 'L' between points X and Y and note the ammeter reading.

When nichrome and copper wire of same length and same radius are connected in series and current I is passed through them. Which wire gets heated up more?

A

nichrome wire

B

Copper wire

C

Both will heat up at the same temperature.

D

None of the wore get heated up.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In series combination current I is same in nichrome and copper wires. Thus nichrom wire will produce more heat.
