(D) When $S_2$ is open and $S_1$ is at position $2$,the circuit is a series combination of $a, b, c, d$. Since $P = I^2 R$,and $b$ is brightest,$R_b$ is the largest. Since $c$ and $d$ are dimmest and equal,$R_c = R_d$. Given the series circuit,$P_b > P_a > P_c = P_d$,which implies $R_b > R_a > R_c = R_d$.When $S_2$ is closed and $S_1$ is at position $1$,the circuit configuration changes. Lamps $b$ and $c$ are now in parallel,and this combination is in series with $a$ and $d$. Let the voltage across the parallel combination be $V_0$. Then $P'_b = V_0^2 / R_b$ and $P'_c = V_0^2 / R_c$. Since $R_b > R_c$,we have $P'_c > P'_b$.For lamps $a$ and $d$,they carry the total current $I$. Since $R_a > R_d$,$P'_a = I^2 R_a > P'_d = I^2 R_d$. Comparing the parallel branch with the series components,the power in the parallel branch is $P'_c = I_2^2 R_c = [I (R_b / (R_b + R_c))]^2 R_c$. Since $R_b > R_c$,the effective resistance of the parallel part is less than $R_d$,leading to $P'_a > P'_d > P'_c > P'_b$.

One junction of a thermocouple is kept at a constant temperature $T_r$ and the other junction is kept at a temperature $T$. If the thermo-emf is given by $E = K(T - T_r) [T_0 - \frac{1}{2}(T + T_r)]$,what is the thermoelectric power at $T = \frac{1}{2}T_0$?

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:
