2. \({R}_{t}={R}_{0}\left(1+αt\right)\)
3. Where \(α\) is coefficient of expansion.
4. Hence, resistance of wire increases on increasing the temperature. Also, from Ohm’s law, ratio of \(\frac{V}{i}\) is equal to R \(ie\),
5. \(\frac{V}{i}=R\)
6. Hence, on increasing the temperature the ratio\(\frac{V}{i}\) increases.

Answer: (d) When the temperature of cold junction increases, the temperature of inversion also increases
Explanation:
1. Temperature of cold junction \({T}_{c},\) temperature of inversion \({T}_{i}\) and neutral temperature \({T}_{n}\) are related as follows
2. \({T}_{n}=\frac{{T}_{i}+{T}_{c}}{2}⇒{T}_{i}=2{T}_{n}-{T}_{c}\)
3. As \({T}_{n}\) is constant for a given thermocouple \({T}_{i}\) decreases with increase in \({T}_{c}\)
(a) 40
(b) 10
(c) 20
(d) 30
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) 30
Explanation:
1. Resistance of the lamp
2. \({R}_{0}=\frac{{V}^{2}}{P}=\frac{{\left(30\right)}^{2}}{90}=10 Ω\)
3. Current in the lamp
4. \(i=\frac{30}{10}=3 Ω\)
5. When lamp is operated on a 120 V, then resistance
6. \({R}^{'}=\frac{{V}^{'}}{i}=\frac{120}{30}=40 Ω\)
7. Thus, for proper glow, the resistance required to the put in series will be
8. \(R={R}^{'}-{R}_{0}=40-10=30 Ω\)
(a) \(1:1:1\)
(b) \(1:2:3\)
(c) \(9:4:1\)
(d) \(27:6:1\)
Show Answer & Explanation

2. or \(A=M/ld\)
3. Resistance \(R=ρl/A=ρl/(M/ld)\)
4. \(=\frac{ρ{l}^{2}d}{M}\)
5. So \(R∝{l}^{2}/M\)
6. Thus, \({R}_{1}:{R}_{2}:{R}_{3}=\frac{{l}_{1}^{2}}{{M}_{1}}:\frac{{l}_{2}^{2}}{{M}_{2}}:\frac{{l}_{3}^{2}}{{M}_{3}}\)
7. \(=\frac{{3}^{2}}{1}:\frac{{2}^{2}}{2}:\frac{{1}^{2}}{3}=27:6:1\)

(b) \(0.8 amp\)
(c) \(0.2 amp\)
(d) \(0.5 amp\)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \(0.8 amp\)
Explanation:
1. \({i}_{g}S=\left(i-{i}_{g}\right)G⇒{i}_{g}\left(S+G\right)=iG\)

(b) 2.0 W
(c) \(\frac{8}{9}\) W
(d) 3.2 W
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) 2.0 W
Explanation:
1. For maximum power \({R}_{\mathrm{ext}}={R}_{\mathrm{int}}\)
2. When batteries are connected in parallel.
3. \({R}_{\mathrm{int}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Ω\)
4. Current \(I=\frac{E}{{R}_{\mathrm{ext}}+{R}_{\mathrm{int}}}=\frac{2}{0.5+0.5}=2Ω\)
5. Maximum power is given by
6. \({P}_{\mathrm{max}}={i}^{2}{R}_{\mathrm{ext}}\)
7. \({ ⇒P}_{\mathrm{max}}={\left(2\right)}^{2}×0.5=\)2 W
8. If we assume batteries to be connected in series, then
9. \({ R}_{\mathrm{int}}=1+1=2Ω\)
10. Current \(I=\frac{2E}{{R}_{\mathrm{ext}}+{R}_{\mathrm{int}}}=\frac{2×2}{2+2}=1\) A
11. So, maximum power is now given by
12. \({P}_{\mathrm{max}}={i}^{2}{R}_{\mathrm{ext}}=1×2=\) 2 W
13. In either case \({P}_{\mathrm{max}}=\) 2 W

2. \(={R}_{0}(1.5)\) …(i)
3. and \(200={R}_{0}\left(1+α×θ\right)={R}_{0}(1+0.005×θ)\)
4. \(={R}_{0}(1.005θ)\) …(ii)
