उत्तर
The electric heater will consume more electrical energy when the length of its heating element is reduced because resistance is directly proportional to length `(R=rhol/A)`. Hence, resistance will decrease. Power is inversely proportional to resistance`(P=V^2/R)`. Hence, power will increase.
Thus, a decrease in resistance means an increase in the power consumed.
