Two metal strips that constitute a thermostat must necessarily differ in their
Mass
Length
Resistivity
Coefficient of linear expansion
If the length of the pendulum in pendulum clock increases by $0.1\, \%$, then the error in time per day is: (in $s$)
Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T _1=300 K$ and $T _2=100 K$, as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K _1$ and $K _2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 K$, then $K _1 / K _2=$ . . . . .
Where $\alpha _V$ is greater among alcohol and mercury ?
When vapour condenses into liquid
A glass flask of volume $200 \,cm ^3$ is just filled with mercury at $20^{\circ} C$. The amount of mercury that will overflow when the temperature of the system is raised to $100^{\circ} C$ is ........ $cm ^3$ $\left(\gamma_{\text {glase }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} / C ^{\circ}, \gamma_{\text {mercury }}=1.8 \times 10^{-4} / C^{\circ}\right)$
