The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of heat produced in two conductors with resistances \( R \) and \( 2R \) connected to a DC source, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Let the resistance of the first conductor be \( R_1 = R \). - Let the resistance of the second conductor be \( R_2 = 2R \). - Both conductors are connected to the same voltage source \( V \). 2. **Use the Formula for Heat Produced:** The heat produced in a resistor when a current flows through it can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q = \frac{V^2}{R} \cdot t \] where \( Q \) is the heat produced, \( V \) is the voltage across the resistor, \( R \) is the resistance, and \( t \) is the time for which the current flows. 3. **Calculate Heat for Each Conductor:** - For the first conductor (resistance \( R_1 \)): \[ Q_1 = \frac{V^2}{R_1} \cdot t = \frac{V^2}{R} \cdot t \] - For the second conductor (resistance \( R_2 \)): \[ Q_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2} \cdot t = \frac{V^2}{2R} \cdot t \] 4. **Find the Ratio of Heat Produced:** To find the ratio of the heat produced in the two conductors, we take: \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{\frac{V^2}{R} \cdot t}{\frac{V^2}{2R} \cdot t} \] The \( V^2 \) and \( t \) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{1/R}{1/(2R)} = \frac{2R}{R} = 2 \] 5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the ratio of heat produced in the first conductor to the second conductor is: \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = 2:1 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of heat produced in the two conductors is \( 2:1 \).
