A heater coil is rated at 100w_200v.it is cut into two identical parts.both parts are connected together in parallel with same source of 200v .. calculate the energy liberated per second in new combination..

Solution
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
