Heating chloroform with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution forms

$A$ wire suspended vertically from one of its ends is stretched by attaching a weight of $200 \ N$ to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by $1 \ mm$. The elastic energy stored in the wire is ......... $J$.

The circuit shown contains a $12 \, V$ battery,a $4 \, \Omega$ resistor,and two branches in parallel,each containing an ideal diode and a resistor. Branch $1$ has diode $D_1$ and a $3 \, \Omega$ resistor,while branch $2$ has diode $D_2$ and a $2 \, \Omega$ resistor. Determine the total current flowing in the circuit. (in $, A$)

The product of the lengths of the perpendiculars drawn from the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$ to the tangent at any point on the ellipse is
