Best answer

We have resistance of one wire

\(R_1=\frac{pl}{A}=\frac{pl}{\pi\,r^2}=\frac{4\,pl}{\pi D^2}\)

Where l is length and D is diameter of the wire. The resistance of second wire of double the length and double the diameter is,

Heat produced per second

\(H=\frac{V^2}{R}\infty \,\frac{1}{R}\)

As second coil has resistance equal to half of first coil, therefore heat produced in second coil is double than that in first coil.
