The combination of gates shown below yields
- Two sources of equal emf are connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2 (R_2 > R_1).$ If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance $R_2$, is zero, then :
- Two voltameters, one of copper and another of silver, are joined in parallel. When a total charge $q$ flows through the voltameters, equal amount of metals are deposited. If the electrochemical equivalents of copper and silver are $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ respectively, the charge which flows through the silver voltameter is :
- The thermo emf of a thermocouple varies with the temperature $?$ of the hot junction as $E = a \,? + b?^2$ in volts where the ratio $a/b$ is $700^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $0^{\circ}C$, then the neutral temperature is
- The negative $Zn$ pole of a Daniell cell, sending a constant current through a circuit, decreases in mass by $0.13\, g$ in $30\, minutes$. If the electrochemical equivalent of $Zn$ and $Cu$ are $32.5$ and $31.5$ respectively, the increase in the mass of the positive $Cu$ pole in this time is

Mechanical Properties of Solids
Mechanical properties of solids intricate the characteristics such as the resistance to deformation and their strength. Strength is the ability of an object to resist the applied stress, to what extent can it bear the stress.
Therefore, some of the mechanical properties of solids involve:
- Elasticity: When an object is stretched, it changes its shape and when we leave, it retrieves its shape. Or we can say it is the property of retrieving the original shape once the external force is removed. For example Spring
- Plasticity: When an object changes its shape and never attains its original shape even when an external force is removed. It is the permanent deformation property. For example Plastic materials.
- Ductility: When an object is been pulled in thin sheets, wires or plates, it will be assumed that it has ductile properties. It is the property of drawing into thin wires/sheets/plates. For example Gold or Silver
- Strength: The ability to hold out applied stress without failure. Many types of objects have higher strength than others.
