Question
CBSEENPH12047704

When a certain current is passed in the circuit as shown in figure, 10 kcal of heat is produced in 5 Ω resistance. How much heat is produced in 4 Ω resistance?

  • 4 kcal

  • 2 kcal

  • 5 kcal

  • 3 kcal

Solution

B.

2 kcal

Heat produced in 5Ω = 10 kcal

Now from the relation

H1 =i12 R1 t  i12 =H1R1 t i12 =H15tAgain 5 × i1 =10 × i2  i2 =i12....(1)

Now heat produced in 4Ω resistance is

H2 = i22 R2 ti22  = H2R2 t i22 =H24t i124=H24t     i2=H2t    ....(2)

Since i2 =i12From equation (1) and (2)H2t=H1tor H2 =H15=102=2 kcal
