MCQ
Two resistors having equal resistances are joined in series and a current is passed through the combination. Neglect any variation in resistance as the temperature changes. In a given time interval
  • Equal amounts of thermal energy must be produced in the resistors
  • B
    Unequal amounts of thermal energy may be produced
  • C
    The temperature must rise equally in the resistors
  • D
    The temperature must rise unequally in the resistors

Answer

Correct option: 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.
