  • question_answer
    If two identical heaters each rated as (1000 W, 220 V) are connected in parallel to 220 volt, then the total power consumed is:

    A)  200 W         

    B)  2500 W

    C)  250 W         

    D)  2000 W

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     When a single heater (resistance\[{{R}_{1}}=R\]) is connected to 220 V, then it will consume a power\[{{P}_{1}}=1000W,\]if two such identical heaters are connected in parallel (total resistance\[{{R}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}/2=R/2)\]to same source, then it will consume power\[{{P}_{2}}\] \[\frac{{{P}_{2}}}{{{P}_{1}}}=\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[{{P}_{2}}=2{{P}_{1}}\] =2000W
