MCQ
A constant potential difference is applied to the ends of a graphite rod, whose resistance decreases with a rise of temperature. The rod can be $(1)$ covered with asbestos or $(2)$ left open to atmosphere. Answer for steady state.
  • A
    in both cases power lost is same but temperature of rod is more in case- $1$
  • in case- $1$ power lost as well as temperature of rod is more
  • C
    in case- $2$ power lost as well as temperature of rod is more
  • D
    in case- $1$ power lost is more but temperature of rod is less

Answer

Correct option: B.
in case- $1$ power lost as well as temperature of rod is more
b
In steady state, as asbestos is a poor conductor of heat than air, temperature of rod $( 1 )$ will be higher.

Also as temperature of rod $(1)$ is high

$\Rightarrow r \downarrow \Rightarrow \frac{v^{2}}{r} \uparrow$

A drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to depth d from the surface (see figure below). Now water is sucked into it up to an initial height $h_0$ and then left to oscillate. As a result, its height $y$ from the surface of the water varies periodically. Ignoring damping, the equation for $y$ is ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
