    An electric heater boils 1 kg of water in a time \[{{t}_{1}}.\]Another heater boils the same amount of water in a time \[{{t}_{2}}.\]When the two heaters are connected in parallel, the time required by them together to boil the same amount of water is:

    A) \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}\]

    B) \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     From Joule's law, the heat produced is \[H=\frac{{{V}^{2}}{{t}_{1}}}{{{R}_{1}}}\]and \[H=\frac{{{V}^{2}}{{t}_{2}}}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{R}_{1}}}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}}\] In parallel, equivalent resistance is \[R'=\frac{{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}\] \[H=\frac{{{V}^{2}}t}{R}\] ?(ii) \[\therefore \] Now, \[\frac{{{V}^{2}}t}{R'}=\frac{{{V}^{2}}{{t}_{1}}}{{{R}_{1}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{R}_{1}}}=\frac{t\times ({{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}})}{{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}}\] ?(iii) From Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get \[t=\frac{{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}\]
