The resistance of the filament of a lamp increases with the increase in temperature. $A$ lamp rated $100\, W, 220\, V$ is connected across a $220\, V$ power supply. If the voltage drops by $10\%$,then the power of the lamp will be:

  • A
    $90\, W$
  • B
    $81\, W$
  • C
    Between $90\, W$ and $100\, W$
  • D
    Between $81\, W$ and $90\, W$

Four lamps are connected as shown in the figure. When switch $S_2$ is open and switch $S_1$ is at position $2$,lamp $b$ is the brightest,and lamps $c$ and $d$ are the dimmest and have the same brightness. Now,if $S_2$ is closed and $S_1$ is at position $1$,what is the sequence of brightness of the lamps (starting from the brightest)?

Suppose the drift velocity $v_d$ in a material varies with the applied electric field $E$ as $v_d \propto \sqrt{E}$. Then the $V-I$ graph for a wire made of such a material is best given by:

The cold junction of a thermocouple is at $0^{\circ} C$. The thermo e.m.f. produced in the thermocouple is given by the equation $E = 16T - 0.04T^2$, where $T$ is the temperature of the hot junction. The temperature of inversion and the neutral temperature of the thermocouple are:
