Out of two thermometers one with spherical bulb and another with cylindrical bulb, which will respond quickly to temperature changes?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which thermometer responds more quickly to temperature changes between one with a spherical bulb and another with a cylindrical bulb, we can analyze the properties of both shapes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Shapes**: - A spherical bulb is round and has a uniform shape in all directions. - A cylindrical bulb has a longer shape with a larger surface area in contact with the surrounding environment. ...

Three bulbs A, B and C having rated power P_(A), P_(B) and P_(C ) , respectively. Each bulb is designed to operate at rated voltage of V volts. It is given that P_(A) gt P_(B) gt P_(C ) . In columnI, different configurtaions of bubls are given while in ColumnII, intensities are mentioned. Match entires of ColumnI with entries of ColumnII, neglecting the change of resistances of bulbs due to temperature change.

Two (non-physics) students, A and B living in neighboring hostel rooms, decided by economies by connecting their bulbs in series. They agreed that each would install a 100 W bulb in their own rooms and that they would pay equal shares of the electricity bill. However, both decided to try to get better lighting at the other's expense, A installed a 200 W bulb and B installed a 50 W bulb. Which student is more likely to fail the end-of--term examinations ?

In which of the following cases the bulb will glow: (i) Only one terminal of a cell is joined with a metal wire to one terminal of the bulb. (ii) Both terminals of the bulb are joined with two metal wires to one terminal of the cell. (iii) One terminal of the cell is joined to one terminal of the bulb and other terminal of the cell to the other terminal of the bulb.

A mercury thermometer is constructed as shown if Fig. 1.9. The capillary tube has a diameter of 0.004 00 cm, and the bulb has a diameter of 0.250 cm. neglecting the expansion of the glass, find the change in height of the mercury column with a temperature change of 30. 0^@C .
