The heater of an electric kettle is made of a wire of length $L$ and diameter $d$. It takes $4$ minutes to raise the temperature of $0.5 \ kg$ of water by $40 \ K$. This heater is replaced by a new heater having two wires of the same material,each of length $L$ and diameter $2d$. The way these wires are connected is given in the options. How much time in minutes will it take to raise the temperature of the same amount of water by $40 \ K$?
$(A)$ $4$ if wires are in parallel
$(B)$ $2$ if wires are in series
$(C)$ $1$ if wires are in series
$(D)$ $0.5$ if wires are in parallel

For a thermocouple,the neutral temperature is $270\,^\circ C$ and the temperature of its cold junction is $20\,^\circ C$. If there is no deflection in the galvanometer,the temperature of the hot junction should be .............. $^\circ C$

$A$ battery of $emf$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a resistance $R$. Resistance $R$ can be adjusted to any value greater than or equal to zero. $A$ graph is plotted between the current $(i)$ passing through the resistance and potential difference $(V)$ across it. Select the correct alternative$(s)$.

$A$ battery of $emf$ $E$ is being charged from a charger such that the positive terminal of the battery is connected to terminal $A$ of the charger and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to terminal $B$ of the charger. The internal resistance of the battery is $r$.

The value of the resistance $R$ in the figure is adjusted such that the power dissipated in the $2\,\Omega$ resistor is maximum. Under this condition:

In Circuit-$1$ and Circuit-$2$ shown in the figures,$R_1=1 \Omega, R_2=2 \Omega$ and $R_3=3 \Omega$. $P_1$ and $P_2$ are the power dissipations in Circuit-$1$ and Circuit-$2$ when the switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ are in open conditions,respectively. $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are the power dissipations in Circuit-$1$ and Circuit-$2$ when the switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ are in closed conditions,respectively. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ When a voltage source of $6 V$ is connected across $A$ and $B$ in both circuits,$P_2 > P_1$.
$(B)$ When a constant current source of $2 A$ is connected across $A$ and $B$ in both circuits,$P_1 > P_2$.
$(C)$ When a voltage source of $6 V$ is connected across $A$ and $B$ in Circuit-$1$,$Q_1 > P_1$.
$(D)$ When a constant current source of $2 A$ is connected across $A$ and $B$ in both circuits,$Q_1 > Q_2$.
