When a potential difference $V$ is applied across a wire of resistance $R$, it dissipates energy at a rate $W$. If the wire is cut into two halves and these halves are connected mutually parallel across the same supply, the same supply, the energy dissipation rate will become:
  • A$1 / 4 \mathrm{~W}$
  • B$1 / 2 \mathrm{~W}$
  • C$2 \mathrm{~W}$
  • D$4 \mathrm{~W}$
