Two wires '$A$' and '$B$' of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1 : 2$ and radii in the ratio $2 : 1$. If the two wires are connected in parallel to a battery,the ratio of heat produced in wire '$A$' to that in wire '$B$' will be:

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 8$
  • D
    $8 : 1$
