(c) \({3}^{1/2}\mathrm{mm}\)
(d) \({2}^{1/3}\mathrm{mm}\)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \({4}^{1/3}\mathrm{mm}\)
Explanation:
1. The temperature of the wire increase to such a value at which the heat produced per second equals heat lost per second due to radiation.
2. \({i}^{2}\left(\frac{ρl}{π{r}^{2}}\right)=H×2πrl\)
3. Where \(H\) is heat lost per second per unit area due to radiation.
4. Hence, \({i}^{2}∝{r}^{3}\)
5. So, \(\frac{{i}_{1}^{2}}{{i}_{2}^{2}} =\frac{{r}_{1}^{3}}{{r}_{2}^{3}}\)
6. Or \({r}_{2}={r}_{1}{\left(\frac{{i}_{2}}{{i}_{1}}\right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
7. \(\left[\mathrm{Here\ :}{r}_{1}=1 \mathrm{mm,}{i}_{1}=1.5 A, {i}_{2}=3 A\right]\)

3. Now, \(5 R=100\)
4. or \(R=20Ω\).
(a) 90 W
(b) 81 W
(c) Between 90 and 100 W
(d) Between 81 and 90 W
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) Between 81 and 90 W
Explanation:
1. Let the resistance of the lamp filament be \(R.\) Then \(100={\left(220\right)}^{2}/R.\) When the voltage drops, expected power is
2. \(P={\left(220 ×0.3\right)}^{2}/R'\)
3. Here, \(R'\) will be less than \(R,\) because now the rise in temperature will be less. Therefore, \(P\) is more than \({\left(220 ×0.9\right)}^{2} R=81 W.\) But it will not be 90% of earlier value, because fall in temperature is small. Hence, option (d) is correct.
(a) The potential drop across two bulbs in the same
(b) The potential drop across the 60 W bulb is greater than the potential drop across the 200 W bulb
(c) The potential drop across the 200 W bulb is greater than the 60 W bulb
(d) The potential drop across both the bulbs is 200 volt
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) The potential drop across the 60 W bulb is greater than the potential drop across the 200 W bulb
Explanation:
1. In series, the current \(I\), is same in two bulbs.
2. Resistance\(R=\frac{{V}^{2}}{P}\)
3. And potential drop \(\left(V\right)=IR\)
4. \(∴\) Potential difference across 60 W bulb is greater than the potential difference across 200 W bulb.
(a) Seebeck effect
(b) Joule effect
(c) Peltier effect
(d) Thomson effect
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Peltier effect
Explanation:
1. When corrent is passed through a junction of two different metals, the heat is either evolved or absorbed at the junction. This effect is known as Peltier effect.
