A heating coil can heat the water of a vessel from 20^(@)C to 60^(@)C in 30 minutes . Two such heating coils are put in series and then used to heat the same amount of water through the same temperature range. The time taken now will be (neglecting thermal capacity of the coils)

When a current flows in a wire of resistance R at a constan t potential difference, then the value of heat produced by a current is inversely proportional to:

A conducting square frame of side 'a' and a long straight wire carrying current I are located in the same plane as shown in the figure. The frame moves to the right with a constant velocity 'V'. The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to :

In a circuit, the value of the alternating current is measured by hot wire ammeter as 10 ampere. What will be its peak value ?

Assertion: Through the same current flows through the line wires and the filament of the bulb but heat produced in the filament is much higher than that in line wires. Reason: The filament of bulbs is made of a material of high resistance and high melting point.

Two heater wires, made of the same material and having the same length and the same radius, are first connected in series and then in parallel to a constant potential difference. If the rate of heat produced in the two cases are Hs and Hp respectively then (Hs)/(Hp) will be
