Heat is produced at a rate given by $H$ in a resistor when it is connected across a supply of voltage $V$. If now the resistance of the resistor is doubled and the supply voltage is made $V / 3$, then the rate of production of heat in the resistor will be

  • A
    $H / 18$
  • B
    $H / 9$
  • C
    $6 H$
  • D
    $18 H$
