Question

Two identical heater coils are connected in parallel across the mains. If one of the coils breaks, then other coil

• A. will also not be heated
• B. develop a higher temperature
• C. develop a lower temperature
• D. will develop the same amount of temperature
  as before

Answer 1

The correct option is D will develop the same amount of temperature

as before
As they were connected in parallel , even if one of the coil is broken there will be no effect on the voltage across the coil as well as the current through it.
Hence, it will develop the same temperature as before.Hence correct option is D
