Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 465

Question: The heating coils rating at 220 volt and producing 50 cal/sec heat are available with the resistances $ 55,\Omega ,\ 110,\Omega ,\ 220,\Omega $ and $ 440,\Omega $ . The heater of maximum power will be of

[MP PMT 1985]

Options:

A) $ 440,\Omega $

B) $ 220,\Omega $

C) $ 110,\Omega $

D) $ 55,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \frac{H}{t}=\frac{V^{2}}{R} $

Therefore $ \frac{H}{t}\propto \frac{1}{R} $
