1 point Two similar heater coils of
equal length are first
connected in series and then in
parallel. The ratio of heat
produced in the two cases is ...​

Let, R be the resistance of the heater wire. Since, two heater wires are of equal length their resistance is also same.

Hence, for series combination of resistances,

R

s

=2R

And for parallel combination of resistances,

R

p

=

2

R

Now, heat produced when they first connected in series is

H

s

=

R

where, V is voltage supplied to the heater.
