Electrical Power & Heating Effect

Two identical heater filaments are connected first in parallel and then in series. At the same applied voltage, the ratio of heat produced in same time for parallel to series will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Same VV and tt: H=V2tR∝1RH = \frac{V^2 t}{R} \propto \frac{1}{R}.
  2. Parallel Rp=R2R_p = \frac{R}{2}, series Rs=2RR_s = 2R.
  3. HpHs=RsRp=2RR/2=4:1\frac{H_p}{H_s} = \frac{R_s}{R_p} = \frac{2R}{R/2} = 4 : 1.
  4. So the answer is (a) 4 : 1.
