When a current of $1\, A$ is passed through a conductor whose ends are maintained at a temperature difference of $1\, ^oC$,the amount of heat evolved or absorbed is called:

  • A
    Peltier coefficient
  • B
    Thomson coefficient
  • C
    Thermoelectric power
  • D
    Thermo $e.m.f.$

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 $, \text{min}$)?

The Peltier coefficient for the junction of a pair of metals is proportional to:

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 .............. $W$.

The charge flowing through a resistance $R$ varies with time as $Q = 2t - 8t^2$. The total heat produced in the resistance is (for $0 \leq t \leq \frac{1}{8} \ s$)
