Two resistances R and 2R are connected in parallel in an electric circuit. The thermal energy developed in R and 2R are in the ratio

Two resistors are connected in parallel. In parallel connection voltage is same. The voltage across the two resistors is same



Where E is the energy dissipated


V is the voltage


R is the resistance


T is the time


Energy developed in the resistor R is



Energy developed in the resistor 2R is



The ratio of energy developed in R and 2R is



When two resistors R and 2R are connected in parallel the ratio of energy developed is 2:1. Option B is correct.
