A length of uniform ‘heating wire’ made of nichrome has a resistance 72Omega. At what rate is the energy dissipated if a potential difference of 120V is applied across (a) full length of wire (b) half the length of wire (wire is cut into two). Why is it not advisable to use the half length of wire ? |
