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.
✓

Answer

By reducing the length of element the resistance will decrease. Power is inversely proportional to resistance. So, this will result in more consumption of energy.
