If the length of the filament of a heater is reduced by 10%, the power of the heater will

a
increase by about 9%
b
increase by about 11%
c
decrease by about 11%
d
decrease by about 9%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

New resistance:  R' =   ρ 0.9 LA =  0.9  RP' =V2R' = V0.9 R = P0.9Increase in power: P'−PP× 100 =1009 =11%
