In the following circuit,the $18\,\Omega$ resistor develops $2\,J/s$ due to the current flowing through it. The power developed across the $10\,\Omega$ resistor is .............. $W$.

An electric kettle has two coils. When one coil is switched on,the tea gets heated in $10 \, \text{min}$. When the other coil is switched on,the same amount of tea gets heated in $40 \, \text{min}$. If both coils are connected in parallel,how long will it take to heat the same amount of tea (in $, \text{min}$)?

In a thermocouple,the temperature that does not depend on the temperature of the cold junction is called

The heater of an electric kettle is made of a wire of length $L$ and diameter $d$. It takes $4$ minutes to raise the temperature of $0.5 \ kg$ of water by $40 \ K$. This heater is replaced by a new heater having two wires of the same material,each of length $L$ and diameter $2d$. The way these wires are connected is given in the options. How much time in minutes will it take to raise the temperature of the same amount of water by $40 \ K$?
$(A)$ $4$ if wires are in parallel
$(B)$ $2$ if wires are in series
$(C)$ $1$ if wires are in series
$(D)$ $0.5$ if wires are in parallel

Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness $t$ and resistivity $\rho$. Its inner radius is $R_1$ and outer radius is $R_2$. If a voltage $V_0$ is applied between its two ends,a current $I$ flows in it. In addition,it is observed that a transverse voltage $\Delta V$ develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)-
$(A)$ $I = \frac{V_0 t}{\pi \rho} \ln \left(\frac{R_2}{R_1}\right)$
$(B)$ the outer surface is at a higher voltage than the inner surface
$(C)$ the outer surface is at a lower voltage than the inner surface
$(D)$ $\Delta V \propto I^2$
