Question
If the current flowing through a fixed resistor is halved, the heat produced in it will become:
- Double.
- One-half.
- One-fourth.
- Four times.
✓
Answer
- One-fourth.
Explanation:
This is so because heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current passing through the resistor.
