The cold junction of a thermocouple is at $0^{\circ} C$. The thermo e.m.f. produced in the thermocouple is given by the equation $E = 16T - 0.04T^2$,where $T$ is the temperature of the hot junction. The temperature of inversion and the neutral temperature of the thermocouple are:

  • A
    $200^{\circ} C ; 400^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $400^{\circ} C ; 200^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $200^{\circ} C ; 300^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $300^{\circ} C ; 200^{\circ} C$

For a thermocouple,the neutral temperature is $270\,^\circ C$ and the temperature of its cold junction is $20\,^\circ C$. If there is no deflection in the galvanometer,the temperature of the hot junction should be .............. $^\circ C$

Two electric bulbs marked $40\,W, 220\,V$ and $60\,W, 220\,V$ are connected in series across a $220\,V$ supply,resulting in an effective power $P_1$. When they are connected in parallel across the same $220\,V$ supply,the effective power is $P_2$. The ratio $\frac{P_1}{P_2}$ is:
