This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation – power consumption in a day i.e in 5 = 10 units
Power consumption per hour = 2 units
Power consumption = 2 units =2KW= 2000J/s
Also power =V I
2000W= 220V l or l= 9A approx.
R=
Power consumption in first current carrying wire
P= I2R
l2= 1.7 10-8 j/s = 4J/s approx.
Loss due to joule heating in first wire = 100=0.2%
Power loss in Al wire =1.6 4= 6.4J/s
Fractional loss due to joule heating in second wire = 100= 0.32%

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Yes this is possible when the entire heat supplied to the system is utilised in expansion.
So its working against the surroundings.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) Initially the piston is in equilibrium Pi=Pa

(b) On supplying heat , the gas expands from Vo to Vi
so increase in volume of the gas =Vi-Vo
as the piston is of unit cross sectional area hence extension in the spring
x=
force exerted by the spring on the piston= F= kx= K(Vi - Vo)
hence final pressure =Pf =Pa +kx
= Pa+K ( )
(c) From first law of thermodynamics
dQ=dU+dW
dU=Cv(T-To) = Cv(T-To)
T=
Work done by the gas =pdV+ increase in PE of the spring
= Pa(V1-Vo) + x2
dQ=dU+dW
= Cv(T-To)+Pa(V-Vo)+ x2
= Cv(T-To)+Pa(v-Vo)+1/2 ( )2

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Slope of the curve = f(V) , where V is the volume
Slope of P = f(V) curve at ((Po, V0 )= f(Vo)
Slope of adiabatic at (Po, V0 )= k(-Y)Vo-1-Y =-YPo/Vo
Now heat absorbed in the process P= f(V)
dQ=dU+dW= nCvdT+pdV
pV=nRT
T= pV/nR
T=
nCv
After solving we get
=
Heat is absorbed where dQ/dV>0 when gas expands
Hence YPo+Vof'(Vo)>0 or f'(Vo)>(-Y )

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) For process AB
Volume is constant , hence work done dW=0
dQ=dU+dW=dU+0=dU
= nCvdT= nCv(TB-TA)
=
=
Heat exchanged =
(b) For process BC , p =constant
dQ= dU+dW =
heat exchanged =
(c) For process CD , because CD is adiabatic , dQ= heat exchanged =0
(d) DA involves compression of gas from VD to VA at constant pressure PA
heat transferred as similar way as BC1
hence dQ = PA(VA-VD)

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a) For the process AB
dV=0 and dW=0
dQ=dU+dW=dU
dQ=dU= change in internal energy , so heat utilised is equal to change in internal energy.
Since p= in adiabatic temperature is directly proportional to pressure. So heat is supplied to the system in process AB.
(b) For the process CD volume is constant but the pressure decreases, hence temperature also decreases . so heat is also given to the surroundings.
(c) WAB= , WCD=

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer- a, b, c
Explanation- the positive charge Q is uniformly distributed at the outer surface of the enclosed sphere thus electric field inside the sphere is zero. So the effect of electric field on charge q due to positive charge Q is zero.
Now the only attractive and repulsive force between Q and q
Case 1 q>0 this creates repulsive force
Case 2 q<0 this creates attractive force
If q is shifted from the centre then the positive charges nearer to this charge will attract it towards itself and charge q will never return to its centre.

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer. (a), (b), (c), (d)
Explanation- The positive charge Q is uniformly distributed along the circular ring then electric field at the centre of ring will be zero, hence no force is experienced by the charge if it is placed at the centre of the ring.
Now the charge is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring. There will be net electric field opposite to displacement will push back the charge towards the centre of the ring if the charge is positive. If charge is negative, it will experience net force in the direction of displacement and the charge w
