The transfer of heat due to actual movement of particles as a result of temperature difference

A lead ball at 25^@ C is dropped from a height of 2 km. It is heated due to air resistance and it is assumed that all of its kinetic energy is used in increasing the temperature of ball. Find the final temperature of the ball.

Statement I: The thermal resistance of a multiple later is equal to the sum of the thermal resistance of the individual laminas. Statement II: Heat transferred is directly proportional to the temperature gradient in each layer.

A fan operates at 200 volt (DC) consuming 1000W when running at full speed . It's internal wiring has resistance 1 Omega . When the fan runs at full speed , its speed becomes constant. This is because the torque due to magnetic field inside tha fan is balanced by the torque due to air resistance on the blades of the fan and torque due to friction between the fixed part and the shaft of the fan. The electrical power going into the fan is spent (i) in the internal resistance as heat, call it P_(1)(ii) in doing work against internal friction and air resistance producing heat, sound etc. call it P_(2) . When the coil of fan rotates, an emf is also induced in the coil. This opposes the external emf applied to snd the current into the fan. This emf is called back-emf,call it 'e' . Answer the following questions when the fan is running at full speed. The value of power P_(1) is

Thermoelectricity refers to a phenomenon that occur at the junctions of dissimilar conductors or within a single conductor, when a temperature difference exists between the junctions or across a conductor. There are three thermogalvanic effects, namely Seebeck effect, Peltier effect and Thomson effect. They involve conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy or vica versa. They are all reversible in contrast with the Joule effect which is irrevesible. Seebeck effect is the superposition of Peltier effect and Thomson effect. In a thermocouple, if the two junctions are maintained at a potential difference, a temperature difference is established, i.e. heat is generated at one junction and absorbed at the other junction. This is called Peltier effect and its converse is the Seebeck effect. The relationship between the. thermo-emf across the junction and the temperature difference is parabolic. Which heat depends on the direction of current
