D$1:4$
d (d) Power consumed means heat produced.
For constant potential difference ${P_{{\rm{consumed}}}} = {\rm{Heat}} \propto \frac{1}{{{R_{eq}}}}$
$\therefore \frac{{{H_1}}}{{{H_2}}} = \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{R_1}}} = \frac{{R/2}}{{2R}} = \frac{1}{4}$
(Since ${R_2} = \frac{{R.R}}{{R + R}} = \frac{R}{2}$and ${R_1} = R + R = 2R)$

.............. $A$ the current flowing through the resistance $R_2$ of the circuit shown in fig if the resistance are equal to $R_1 = 20\ \Omega, R_2 = 30 \ \Omega$ and $R_3 = 60 \ \Omega$ and potentials of points $1, 2$ and $3$ are equal to $V_1= 20\, V,$ $V_2 = 30\ V$ and $V_3 = 60\ V$
$A$ total charge $Q$ flows across a resistor $R$ during a time interval $= T$ in such a way that the current vs. time graph for $0 \rightarrow T$ is like the loop of a sin curve in the range $0 \rightarrow \pi$ . The total heat generated in the resistor is
The charge flowing in a conductor changes with time as $Q ( t )=\alpha t -\beta t ^2+\gamma t ^3$. Where $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are constants. Minimum value of current is :
