    If two identical heaters each rated as (1000W,    220V) are connected in parallel to 220 V, then    the total power consumed is :

    A)                  200 W                                  

    B)  2500 W

    C)                  250 W                                  

    D)  2000 W

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When a single heater (resistance \[{{R}_{1}}=R\]) is connected to\[220V\], then it will consume a power\[{{P}_{i}}=1000\text{ }W\], if two such identical heater are connected in parallel (total resistance  \[{{R}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}/2=R/2\])to same source, then it will consume power \[{{p}_{2}}\]                 \[\frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}}\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}{{p}_{2}}=2{{p}_{1}}\]                 \[=2000W\]
