Two exactly similar heating resistances are connected in series and in parallel in two different circuits one by one. If the same current is passed through both the combinations, is more heat obtained per minute when they are connected in series or when they are connected in parallel? Give reason for your answer.

Answer
When the heating resistances are connected in series more heat is obtained per minute. This is because the total resistance in series combination is more when compared to the total resistance in parallel combination.
