A thermocouple is made from two metals, Antimony and
Bismuth. If one junction of the couple is kept hot and the other is kept cold, then, an electric current will
A
flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the hot junction
B
flow from Bismuth to Antimony at the cold junction
C
now flow through the thermocouple
D
flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction
Answer :
flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction
At cold junction, current flows from Antimony to Bismuth (because current flows from metal occurring later in the series to metal occurring earlier in the thermoelectric series).

Two batteries of emf $$4\,V$$ and $$8\,V$$ with internal resistance $$1\,\Omega $$ and $$2\,\Omega $$ are connected in a circuit with a resistance of $$9\,\Omega $$ as shown in figure. The current and potential difference between the points $$P$$ and $$Q$$ are

A steady current of $$1.5\,A$$ flows through a copper voltameter for $$10\,min.$$ If the electrochemical equivalent of copper is $$30 \times {10^{ - 5}}g{C^{ - 1}},$$ the mass of copper deposited on the electrode will be
If $$m$$ is the mass of a substance deposited or liberated on an electrode during electrolysis when a charge $$q$$ passes through electrolyte, then according to Faraday’s first law of electrolysis. Mass deposited is directly proportional to the charge flows.
i.e. $$m \propto q\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,m = Zq$$
where, $$Z$$ is a constant of proportionality and is called electrochemical equivalent (ECE) of the substance.
If an electric current $$i$$ flows through the electrolyte, then
$$m = Zit\,\,\left[ {q = it} \right]$$
Given, $$i = 1.5\,A,\,t = 10\,\min = 10 \times 60\,s,$$
$$Z = 30 \times {10^{ - 5}}g{C^{ - 1}}$$
Hence, mass of copper deposited on the electrode
$$\eqalign{
& m = 30 \times {10^{ - 5}} \times 1.5 \times 10 \times 60 \cr
& = 27 \times {10^{ - 2}} = 0.27\,g \cr} $$

The Kirchhof's first law $$\left( {\sum {i = 0} } \right)$$ and second law $$\left( {\sum {iR = \sum E } } \right)$$ where the symbols have their usual meanings, are respectively based on
A
conservation of charge, conservation of momentum
B
conservation of energy, conservation of charge
C
conservation of momentum, conservation of charge
D
conservation of charge, conservatrion of energy
Answer :
conservation of charge, conservatrion of energy
NOTE : Kirchhoff's first law is based on conservation of charge and Kirchhoff’s second law is based on conservation of energy.

A conductor carries a current of $$50\,\mu A.$$ If the area of cross-section of the conductor is $$50\,m{m^2},$$ then value of the current density in $$A{m^{ - 2}}$$ is
As we know that,
$${\text{Power}}\,P = {i^2}R\,\left[ {_{R\, = \,{\text{resistance}}}^{{\text{where,}}\,i\, = \,\,{\text{current in circuit}}}} \right]$$
$$R = \frac{p}{{{i^2}}}$$
Given, $$P = 1\,W,\,i = 5\,A$$
$$\therefore R = \frac{1}{{{{\left( 5 \right)}^2}}} = 0.04\,\Omega $$

A filament bulb $$\left( {500\,W,\,100\,V} \right)$$ is to be used in a $$230\,V$$ main supply. When a resistance $$R$$ is connected in series, it works perfectly and the bulb consumes $$500\,W.$$ The value of $$R$$ is
If a rated voltage and power are given, then
$${P_{{\text{rated}}}} = \frac{{V_{{\text{rated}}}^2}}{R}$$
$$\therefore $$ Current in the bulb, $$i = \frac{P}{V}\,\,\left( {\because P = Vi} \right)$$
$$i = \frac{{500}}{{100}} = 5\,A$$
$$\therefore $$ Resistance of bulb, $${R_b} = \frac{{100 \times 100}}{{500}} = 20\,\Omega $$
$$\because $$ Resistance $$R$$ is connected in series.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\text{Current,}}\,\,i = \frac{E}{{{R_{{\text{net}}}}}} = \frac{{230}}{{R + {R_b}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow R + 20 = \frac{{230}}{5} = 46 \cr
& \therefore R = 26\,\Omega \cr} $$
