  • D
    Peltier effect

Answer

Correct option: B.
Magnetic effect
b
(b)

Connecling wires are twisted in electrical appliances so that the resultant magnetic fields from consecutive twists are in opposite directions So umulative magnetic effect over a long length will beroughly Zero

Two particles, $1$ and $2$ , each of mass $m$, are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at $x_0$, are oscillating with amplitude a and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus, their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-$ $a$ sin $\omega t$, respectively, where $d>2 a$. Particle $3$ of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0=a \omega / 2$, and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time $t_0$. Finally, particles $1$ and $2$ acquire a center of mass speed $v_{ cm }$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency. . . . .
