A heating coil is labelled 100 W, 220 V. The coil is cut in half and the two pieces are joined in parallel to the same source. The energy now liberated per second is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Power of heating coil 
and voltage 
volts. When the heating coil is cut into two equal parts and these parts are joined in parallel, the resistance of the coil is reduced to one-fourth of the previous value. Therefore energy liberated per second becomes 4 times. i.e. 
.
