You are given resistance wire of length 50 cm and a battery of negligible resistance. In which of the following cases is largest amount of heat generated?
Updated On: Jun 21, 2024
- When the wire is connected to the battery directly.
- When the wire is divided into two parts and both the parts are connected to the battery in parallel.
- When the wire is divided into four parts and all the four parts are connected to the battery in parallel.
- When only half of the wire is connected to the battery.
