Question

If the resistance of a conductor is doubled then the heat produced is:

A.

Unchanged

B.

Two times

C.

Zero

D.

Half

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: B. Two times

Explanation:

  • When the resistance of a conductor is doubled, the heat produced becomes two times the original amount.
  • According to the formula H=I2Rt, if resistance R is increased and all other factors (such as current and time) remain constant, the heat production is directly proportional to the resistance.
  • Doubling R results in a corresponding doubling of the heat H.

Information Booster:

  •  Heat generated is directly proportional to resistance.
  •  Doubling resistance doubles the heat produced if current and time remain unchanged.
  •  This relationship highlights how higher resistance leads to increased thermal energy dissipation.
