The $e.m.f.$ in a thermoelectric circuit with one junction at $0\,^\circ C$ and the other at $t\,^\circ C$ is given by $E = At - Bt^2$. The neutral temperature is then

$A$ piece of ice falls from a height $h$ so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of $h$ is (Latent heat of ice is $L = 3.4 \times 10^{5} \text{ J/kg}$ and $g = 10 \text{ N/kg}$) (in $\text{ km}$)

'Stem correction' in platinum resistance thermometers is eliminated by the use of

When water is heated from $0^{\circ}C$ to $4^{\circ}C$,which of the following relations holds true?

The thermo $e.m.f.$ of a thermocouple varies with the temperature $\theta$ of the hot junction as $E = a\theta + b\theta^2$ in volts,where the ratio $a/b$ is $700\,^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $0\,^{\circ}C$,then the neutral temperature is:

The heat required to change $1 \,kg$ of ice at $-8^{\circ} C$ into water at $20^{\circ} C$ at $1 \,atm$ of pressure is closest to .............$\,kJ$. (Assume that ice has a specific heat capacity $2.1 \,kJ / kg \cdot K$,water has a specific heat capacity $4.2 \,kJ / kg \cdot K$,and the latent heat of fusion of ice is $333 \,kJ / kg$.)
