E = 30Ω - θ² 15
For neutral Temperature, de/dθ = 0
0 = 30 - (2/15)θ
∴ 0 = 15 x 15 = 225° C
Hence, neutral temperature is 225°C.Correct Option: D
E = 30Ω - θ² 15
For neutral Temperature, de/dθ = 0
0 = 30 - (2/15)θ
∴ 0 = 15 x 15 = 225° C
Hence, neutral temperature is 225°C.

I = P = 100 × 103 A = 105 A V 125 60
E.C.E. = 0.367 × 10-6 kg C -1
Charge per minute = (I × 60) C= 105 × 60 C = 6 × 106 C 125 125
∴Mass liberated= 6 × 106 × 0.367 × 10-6 125 = 6 × 1000 × 10-3 = 17.616 × 10-3kg 125
Correct Option: C
I = P = 100 × 103 A = 105 A V 125 60
E.C.E. = 0.367 × 10-6 kg C -1
Charge per minute = (I × 60) C= 105 × 60 C = 6 × 106 C 125 125
∴Mass liberated= 6 × 106 × 0.367 × 10-6 125 = 6 × 1000 × 10-3 = 17.616 × 10-3kg 125

Current from D to C = 1A
∴ VD – VC = 2 × 1 = 2V
VA = 0
∴ VC = 1V,
∴ VD – VC = 2
⇒ VD – 1 = 2
∴ VD = 3V
∴ VD – VB = 2
∴ 3 – VB = 2 ∴ VB = 1VCorrect Option: D
