The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
H eat generated in a wire carrying current, H = 12 Rt.
so, when voltage is high and current is low heat generated in the wire will be minimal.
Therefore, high voltage and low current prevent overheating of the coil.
so, when voltage is high and current is low heat generated in the wire will be minimal.
Therefore, high voltage and low current prevent overheating of the coil.
