A
Equal amounts of thermal energy must be produced in the resistors
a $P = {i^2}R$ ($i$ and $R$ are same)
So $P$ will be same for given resistors.

The resistance of a wire is $5\,ohm$ at $50\,^o C$ and $6\,ohm $ at $100\,^o C$. The resistance of the wire at $0\,^o C$ will be .............. $\Omega$
As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ is carrying a constant current $i$ through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force $F$. Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain $\varepsilon$ when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.
What will be the most suitable combination of three resistors $A =2\, \Omega, B =4\, \Omega, C =6\, \Omega$ so that $\left(\frac{22}{3}\right)\Omega$ is equivalent resistance of combination$?$
Two resistors of resistance ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ having ${R_1} > {R_2}$ are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance $R$, the correct statement is
You are given a resistance wire of length $50\, cm$ and a battery of negligible resistance. In which of the following cases is largest amount of heat generated
A $4\,\mu F$ conductor is charged to $400\, volts$ and then its plates are joined through a resistance of $1\,k\Omega $. The heat produced in the resistance is ............... $J$
Three resistors are connected to form the sides of a triangle $ABC$, the resistance of the sides $AB$, $BC$ and $CA$ are $40\,ohms$, $60\,ohms$ and $100\,ohms$ respectively. The effective resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ in $ohms$ will be
