This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(b) Let us assume that T1, T2T3
According to questions there is no loss of heat in the surroundings
Heat lost by M3 = heat gained by M1+ heat gained by M2
M3s (T3-T)= M1s (T-T1)+M2s (T-T2)
T [M1+M2+M3]= M3T3+M1T1+M2T2
T =

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- If the current in auxiliary circuit (lower circuit containing primary cell) decreases, and potential difference across A and jockey/increases. Then deflection in galvanometer is one sided and the deflection decreased, while moving from one end 'A ' of the wire to the end 'S'.
And clearly this is possible only when positive terminal of the cell E1 is connected at X and E1>E.
(ii) If the current in auxiliary circuit increases, and potential difference across A and jockey J increases. Then also deflection in galvanometer shows one sided deflection.
And th

(a) Container A is isothermal and container B is adiabatic

For isothermal process P1V1=P2V2
Po (2Vo)= P2 (Vo)
P2= 2Po
for adiabatic process
P1V1y= P2V2y
Po (2Vo)y=P2 (Vo)y
P2= ( )yPo= 2yPo
Hence ratio of final pressure =

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- If the value of R is increased, the current through the wire will decrease which in turn decreases the potential difference across AB, and hence potential gradient (k) across AB decreases.
Since, at neutral point, for given emf of cell, l increases as potential gradient (k) across AB has decreased because E' = kl
Thus, with the increase of l, which will result in increase in balance length. So, jockey J will shift towards B

Explanation – power consumed through wire is P=V2/R =I2R . for transmitting the power there are two types either current is large or voltage is less or vice versa. But when current in the circuit is higher then power loss is also higher . so we transmit the power through high voltage circuits.

(b) Work done ABCD = area of rectangle ABCDA
= AB = (3Vo-Vo) (2po-po)
= 2V0 Po= 2poVo
And work done by the gas =- 2poVo

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.
