1.

heating coils, one of fine wire and other of thick wire made of same material and lengths are connected one by one to a source of electricity. Which coil produce heat at greater rate? Justify.​

Answer»

Answer:

Given,

2 heating coils of same length, l

Let resistance of thin WIRE be R

1

resistance of thick wire be R

2

We know,

for same MATERIAL, RESISTIVITY ρ is same

Cross section area of thin wire = A

1

Cross section area of thick wire = A

2

2)

A thick wire coil will produce heat at a rate of heat generation, P=

R

V

2

Both are connected to the same source V

= Rate of heat generation by thin wire

P
