Question
State whether an electric heater will consume more electrical energy or less electrical energy per second when the length of its heating element is reduced. Give reasons for your answer.

Two metals $X$ and $Y$ form the salts $XSO_4$ and $Y_2SO_4,$ respectively. The solution of salt $XSO_4$ is blue in colour whereas that of $Y_2SO_4$ is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to $XSO_4$ solution, then a white precipitate $Z$ is formed alongwith a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to $Y_2SO_4$ solution, then the same white precipitate $Z$ is formed alongwith colourless common salt solution.
