B$400$
b (b) When the heating coil is cut into two equal parts and these parts are joined in parallel, the resistance of coil is reduced to one fourth, so power consumed will become $4$ times i.e. $400\, Js^{-1}.$

Carbon resistor has resistance specified by three bands having colour red, yellow and black. If this resistor is cut into two pieces of equal length then the new colour code of each one will be (Neglect tolerance of $4^{th}$ band)
The resistance of the filament of an electric bulb changes with temperature. If an electric bulb rated $220\, volt$ and $100\, watt$ is connected $(220 \times 0.8)$ $volt$ sources, then the actual power would be
A heater $A$ gives out $300\, W$ of heat when connected to a $200\, V$ $d.c.$ supply. Asecond heater $B$ gives out $600\, W$ when connected to a $200\,v$ $d.c$. supply. If a series combination of the two heaters is connected to a $200\, V$ $d.c$. supply the heat output will be ................. $W$
