    In the circuit shown in the figure, the heat produced in the 5 ohm resistor due to the current flowing through it is 10 calories per second. The heat generated in the 4 ohm resistor is

    A)  1 calorie/sec 

    B)  2 calories/sec  

    C)  3 calories/sec

    D)  4 calories/sec

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     If the current in the\[5\Omega \], branch is\[x\], then that is the upper branch of total resistance \[10\Omega \] must be \[\frac{x}{2}\](in parallel,\[I\propto \frac{1}{R}\]). Now,     \[{{x}^{2}}\times 5=10\]and\[{{\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)}^{2}}\times 4=?\]
