Explanation- according to ohms law
I=
The potential difference across terminal is
V=e-Ir= E- r1=0
E=
1=

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- when all resistance are in parallel
by multiplying this equation by Rmin we have
But there exist a term in RHS and other terms are positive so we have
>1
This shows that equivalent resistance is less than maximum resistance available.
But when all resistance are in series
Rs =R1+R2………Rn
here must be Rmax value in RHS
Rs= R1+……Rmax+….Rn
And Rs> Rmax
So equivalent resistance is less than Rmax

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) The moon has small gravitational force and hence, the escape velocity is small .
As the moon in the proximity of the earth as seen from the sun, the moonhas the same amount of heat per unit area as that of the earth.
The air molecules have large range of speeds . even though the rms speed of the air molcules is smaller than the escape velocity on the moon, a significant number of molecules have speed grater than the escape velocity.

(b) As the molecules move higher their potential energy increases and hence kinetic energy decreases and hence temperature reduces. At g

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation-

total resistance = 2+8= 10 ohm
I= = 0.2A
The direction of flow of current is always from high potential to low potential
If VB VA
VB-4V-0.2 8 = VA
VB-VA= 3.6V

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) the given process is a cyclic process i.e returns to the original state 1
Hence change in internal energy dU =0
dQ= dU+dW=0+dW
hence total heat supplied is converted to work done by the gas which is not possible by second law of thermodynamics.
(c) When the gas expands adiabatically from 2 to 3 . it is not possible to return to the same state without being heat supplied hence 3 to 1 cannot be adiabatic.
