When a solid melts or a liquid boils, the temperature does not increase even when heat is supplied. Where does the energy go?

A person's skin is more severely burnt when put in contact with 1 g of steam at 100°C than when put in contact with 1 g of water at 100°C. Explain

The atmospheric temperature in the cities on sea-coast change very little. Explain

Should a thermometer bulb have large heat capacity or small heat capacity?

(c) the mass of the body

(d) the material of the body

(b) may increase

(c) may remain constant

(d) may decrease

The temperature of a solid object is observed to be constant during a period. In this period

(a) heat may have been supplied to the body

(b) heat may have been extracted from the body

(c) no heat is supplied to the body

(d) no heat is extracted from the body

The temperature of an object is observed to rise in a period. In this period

(a) heat is certainly supplied to it

(b) heat is certainly not supplied to it

(c) heat may have been supplied to it

A resistance thermometer reads R = 20.0 Ω, 27.5 Ω, and 50.0 Ω at the ice point (0°C), the steam point (100°C) and the zinc point (420°C), respectively. Assuming that the resistance varies with temperature as R_θ = R₀ (1 + αθ + βθ²), find the values of R₀, α and β. Here θ represents the temperature on the Celsius scale.

A concrete slab has a length of 10 m on a winter night when the temperature is 0°C. Find the length of the slab on a summer day when the temperature is 35­°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.0 × 10^–5 °C^–1.

A metre scale made of steel is calibrated at 20°C to give correct reading. Find the distance between the 50 cm mark and the 51 cm mark if the scale is used at 10°C. Coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 1.1 × 10^–5 °C^–1.

A railway track (made of iron) is laid in winter when the average temperature is 18°C. The track consists of sections of 12.0 m placed one after the other. How much gap should be left between two such sections, so that there is no compression during summer when the maximum temperature rises to 48°C? Coefficient of linear expansion of iron = 11 × 10^–6 °C^–1.

A circular hole of diameter 2.00 cm is made in an aluminium plate at 0°C. What will be the diameter at 100°C? α for aluminium = 2.3 ×  10^–5 °C^–1.
