उत्तर
1 : 4
Explanation:
Since both the wires are made of the same material and have equal lengths and equal diameters, they have the same resistance. Let it be R.
When Connected in series, their equivalent resistance is given by
Rs = R + R =2R
When connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is given by
`1/("R"_p) = 1/"R" + 1/"R"`
= `2/"R"` or `"R"_p = "R"/2`
Further, electrical power is given by,
`"p" = ("V"^2)/"R"`
Power or heat produced in series, `"p"_s = ("V"^2)/("R"_s)`
Power or heat produced in parallel, `"p"_p = ("V"^2)/("R"_p)`
Thus, `("p"_s)/("p"_p) = (("V"^2)/("R"_s))/(("V"^2)/("R"_p))`
= `("R"_p)/("R"_s)`
= `("R"/2)/(2"R")`
= `1/4`
or Ps : Pp = 1 : 4
