$A$ copper voltameter is connected in parallel with a heater coil of resistance $0.1\,\Omega$. $A$ current is passed for $20\,\text{minutes}$,resulting in the deposition of $0.99\,\text{g}$ of copper on the cathode. If the electrochemical equivalent of copper is $0.00033\,\text{g/C}$,the heat produced in the coil is ........... $J$.

$A$ thermocouple develops $200\,\mu V$ between $0\,^{\circ}C$ and $100\,^{\circ}C$. If it develops $64\,\mu V$ and $76\,\mu V$ respectively between $(0\,^{\circ}C - 32\,^{\circ}C)$ and $(32\,^{\circ}C - 70\,^{\circ}C)$,then what will be the thermo-emf it develops between $70\,^{\circ}C$ and $100\,^{\circ}C$ in $\mu V$?

If the cold junction is held at $0^{\circ} C$, the thermo emf $V$ of a thermocouple varies as $V = 10 \times 10^{-6} t - \frac{1}{40} \times 10^{-6} t^2$, where $t$ is the temperature of the hot junction in $^{\circ} C$. The neutral temperature and the maximum value of thermo emf are respectively:
