A heating coil is rated `100 W , 200 V`. The coil is cut in half and two pieces are joined in parallel to the same source . Now what is the energy `( "in" xx 10^(2) J)` liberated per second?

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
Let resistance of heating coil be `R` , then
`100 = (200^(2)) /(R ) or R = ((200)^(2))/(100) Omega`
Resistance of each cut part is `R//2`. Now , power dissipated is
`P = 2(((220)^(2)) / ( R//2))`
`= 4 ((220)^(2))/( R ) = 4 xx 100 = 400 W`
