When a current passes through the junction of two different metals,the evolution or absorption of heat at the junction is known as:

First,a set of $n$ equal resistors of $10 \; \Omega$ each are connected in series to a battery of emf $20 \; V$ and internal resistance $10 \; \Omega$. $A$ current $I$ is observed to flow. Then,the $n$ resistors are connected in parallel to the same battery. It is observed that the current is increased $20$ times. The value of $n$ is .... .

The total power dissipated in the circuit shown here is ............. $W$.

An ammeter $A$ of finite resistance and a resistor $R$ are joined in series to an ideal cell $C$. $A$ potentiometer $P$ is joined in parallel to $R$. The ammeter reading is $I_0$ and the potentiometer reading is $V_0$. $P$ is now replaced by a voltmeter of finite resistance. The ammeter reading now is $I$ and the voltmeter reading is $V$.

If the cold junction is held at $0^{\circ} C$, the thermo emf $V$ of a thermocouple varies as $V = 10 \times 10^{-6} t - \frac{1}{40} \times 10^{-6} t^2$, where $t$ is the temperature of the hot junction in $^{\circ} C$. The neutral temperature and the maximum value of thermo emf are respectively:
