An electric kettle has two coils. When one coil is switched on,the tea gets heated in $10 \, \text{min}$. When the other coil is switched on,the same amount of tea gets heated in $40 \, \text{min}$. If both coils are connected in parallel,how long will it take to heat the same amount of tea (in $, \text{min}$)?

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $25$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $8$

Two resistors with resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are connected in series and two capacitors with capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ are also connected in series. These two systems are connected to a battery of $EMF$ $\varepsilon$ as shown in the figure. The potential difference between points $a$ and $b$ is zero in the steady state if:
