    If two identical heaters each rated as (1000 W.220 V) 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 220 V, then it will consume a power \[{{P}_{1}}=1000\,W,\] if two such identical heaters are connected in parallel (total resistance \[{{R}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}/2=R/2\]) to same source, then it will consume power \[{{P}_{2}}\]                 \[\frac{{{P}_{2}}}{{{P}_{1}}}=\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[{{P}_{2}}=2{{P}_{1}}=2000\,\,W\]
