This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation – In the circuit when an electron approaches a junction, in addition to the uniform E that faces it normally (which keep the drift velocity fixed), as drift velocity (vd) is directly proportional to Electric field (E). That's why there are accumulation of charges on the surface of wires at the junction.
These produce additional electric fields. These fields alter the direction of momentum. Thus, the motion of a charge across junction is not momentum conserving

Height of stairs h= 10m
Energy produced by burning 1 kg of fat = 7000Kcal
Energy produced by burning 5kg of fat = 5
Energy utilised in going up and down one time
= mgh + =
=
= 9000J= 9000/4.2=3000/1.4cal
Number of times, the person has to go up and down the stairs
= = 16.3 times

This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- applying kirchhoff's junction rule I1 = I+I2
Applying kirchhoff's rule in outer loop containing 10V cell
10= IR+10I1……………. (1)
Applying kirchhoff's rule in outer loop containing 2V cell
2= 5I2-RI= 5 (I1-I)-RI
4= 10I1-10I-RI………… (2)
From 1 and 2
6=3RI+10I
2=I (R+10/3)
V= I (R+Reff)
After comparing V=2V, Reff= 10/3 ohm
Since effective internal resistance Reff of two cells 10/3 ohm, being the parallel combination 5 ohm and 10 ohm . the equivalent circuit is

Temperature of the source T1= 500K and sink T2= 300K
Work done W= 1000J
Efficiency of Carnot engine = 1-T2/T1= 1-300/500= 200/500= 2/5
Efficiency = W/Q1
So Q1= W/efficiency = 1000

Yes during adiabatic compression the temperature of a gas increases while no heat is
In adiabatic compression dQ=0
From the first law of thermodynamics dU= dQ-dW
dU=-dW
in compression work is done on the gas i.e work done is negative
dU=positive
hence internal energy of the gas increases due to which its temperature increases.

This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation – let R' be the resistance of potentiometer wire.
Effective resistance of potentiomter and variable resistor r=50ohm is 500+R'
Effective voltage across potentiometer = 10V
The current through main circuit I= =
Potential difference across wire of potentiometer
IR'=
Since with 50 ohm resistor, null point is not obtained it is possible when
10R'
2R'<400 or R'<200 ohm
Similarly with 10 ohm resistor, null point is obtained its is only possible when
2R'>40
R'>40
7.5R'<80+8R'
R'>160
160
Any R' between 160 ohm and 200 ohm will achieve.
Since the null point on the last 4th segment of

For path1
Heat Q1= 1000J
Work done =W1
For path 2
Work done W2= W1-100
As change in internal energy is same
dU=Q1-W1=Q2-W2
1000-W1=Q2-W1+100
Q2= 1000-100= 900J
