### AIEEE 2006

A thermocouple is made from two metals, Antimony and Bismuth. If one junction of the couple is kept hot and the other is kept cold, then, an electric current will
A
flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the hot junction
B
flow from Bismuth to Antimony at the cold junction
C
now flow through the thermocouple
D
flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction

## Explanation

At cold junction, current flows from Antimony to Bismuth (because current flows from metal occurring later in the series to metal occurring earlier in the thermoelectric series).

### AIEEE 2005

An energy source will supply a constant current into the load if its internal resistance is
A
very large as compared to the load resistance
B
equal to the resistance of the load
C
non-zero but less than the resistance of the load
D
zero

## Explanation

$I = {E \over {R + r}},\,$ Internal resistance $\left( r \right)$ is

zero, $I = {E \over R} =$ constant.

### AIEEE 2005

The resistance of hot tungsten filament is about $10$ times the cold resistance. What will be resistance of $100$ $W$ and $200$ $V$ lamp when not in use ?
A
$20\Omega$
B
$40\Omega$
C
$200\Omega$
D
$400\Omega$

## Explanation

$P = Vi = {{{V_2}} \over R}$

${R_{hot}} = {{{V^2}} \over P} = {{200 \times 200} \over {100}} = 400\Omega$

${R_{cold}} = {{400} \over {10}} = 40\Omega$

### AIEEE 2005

A moving coil galvanometer has $150$ equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is $10$- divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is $2$ divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads $1$ volt, the resistance in $ohms$ needed to be connected in series with the coil will be -
A
${10^5}$
B
${10^3}$
C
$9995$
D
$99995$

## Explanation

KEY CONCEPT : Resistance of Galvanometer,

$G = {{Current\,\,\,sensitivity} \over {Voltage\,\,\,sensityvity}} \Rightarrow G = {{10} \over 2} = 5\Omega$

Here ${i_g} =$ Full scale deflection current $= {{150} \over {10}} = 15\,\,mA$

$V=$ voltage to be measured $=150$ volts

(such that each division reads $1$ volt)

$\Rightarrow R = {{150} \over {15 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} - 5 = 9995\Omega$
