For a certain thermocouple, if the temperature of the cold junction is 0°C, the neutral temperature and inversion temperatures are 285°C and 570°C respectively. If the cold junction is brought to 10°C, then the new neutral and inversion temperatures are respectively
285°C and 560°C
285°C and 570°C
295°C and 560°C
275°C and 560°C
In which of the following substances does resistance decrease with increase in temperature ?

A piece of wood is floating in water. When the temperature of water rises, the apparent weight of the wood will
increase
decrease
may increase or decrease
remain same
An experiment takes 10 min to raise temperature of water from 0°C and 100°C and another 55 min to convert it totally into steam by a stabilized heater. The latent heat of vaporization comes out to be
530 cal/g
540 cal/g
550 cal/g
560 cal/g
A wire is stretched under a force. If the wire suddenly snaps the temperature of the wire

Work done on the wire to strain it will be stored as energy which is converted to heat. Therefore the temperature increases.
