This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- Alloys are used for making standard resistance coil because they have low temperature coefficient of resistance with less temperature sensitivity. The alloys also have high resistivity and hence high resistance, because for given length and cross-section area of conductor .

(c) As we know PV =constant
Hence we can say that gas is going through an isothermal process.
Clearly from the graph that between process 1 and 2 temperature is constant and the gas expands and pressure decreases. So density of 2 is less than 1 so option ii

Explanation- For the selection of metal for wiring in home the main criterion are: the availability, conductivity and the cost of the metal. The Cu wires or Al wires are used for wiring in the home. The main considerations are involved in this process are cost of metal and good conductivity of metal.

Explanation- Metallic strips have negligible resistance and need not to be counted in the length l1, of the null point of potentiometer. That's why the thick metallic strips are used in potentiometer. It is for the convenience of experimenter as he measures only their lengths along the straight segments each of lengths 1 m.

Explanation- In a Wheatstone bridge the main advantage of null point method is that the resistance of galvanometer does not affect the balance point, there is no need to determine current in resistances and the internal resistance of a galvanometer. It is convenient and easy method for observer.
The R unknown can calculated applying Kirchhoff's rules to the circuit. We would need additional accurate measurement of all the currents in resistances and galvanometer and internal resistance of the galvanometer.

(c) For the curve 1 volume is constant so it is isochoric process. But in curve 2 and 3 curve 2 is steeper so 2 is adiabatic and 3 is isothermal.

process 1 isochoric and process 2 is isothermal .
Since, work done = area under P-V curve . here area under the pV curve 1 is more . so work done is more when the gas expands in isochoric process.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Temperature of the source is 270C
T1= 27+273= 300K
T2= -3+273= 270K
Efficiency of heat engine = 1-T2/T1= 1-270/300=1/10
Efficiency of refrigerator is 50% of a perfect engine
= 0.5 = 1/20
Coefficient of performance of the refrigerator
=
Q2= =19W
= 19 1KW=19KW= 19kJ/s
