question mark

The wire of an electric heater (100w, 200v) is cut from middle into two equal parts. These parts are connected together in parallel and then connected to the same 200 v source. The power liberated is now-

Dear Deepak

power rating,m P = 100 W
voltage supply, V = 200V
thus resistance of the coil:
P = V2 / R
thus R = 40000/100 = 400 ohm
hence of the two new parts produced, new resistance of each part, R' = 200 ohm each
on parallel connection, net resistance:
1/Rt = 1/R' + 1/R'
hence Rt = R'/2 = 100 ohm
and the new power rating, P = V2 /Rt = 40000/100 = 400 W
