Which of the following graphs shows the variation of thermoelectric power with temperature difference $\theta$ between the hot and cold junctions in thermocouples?

Calculate the amount of heat (in calories) required to convert $5\,g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ to steam at $100^{\circ}C$.

$A$ drilling machine of $10 \, kW$ power is used to drill a bore in a small aluminium block of mass $8 \, kg$. If $50 \%$ of power is used up in heating the machine itself or lost to the surroundings,then the rise in temperature of the block in $2.5 \, minutes$ is ........ $^\circ C$. [Specific heat of aluminium $= 0.91 \, J/g \cdot ^\circ C$]

$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:

$A$ child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes,what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by the drug (in $g/min$)? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The specific heat of the human body is approximately the same as that of water,and the latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.

$A$ given mass $m$ of a hypothetical solid is supplied with heat continuously at a constant rate and the graph shown in the figure is plotted. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and vaporization,and $S_l$ and $S_s$ are specific heats of liquid and solid respectively,it can be concluded that:
