Answer»

(a) Resistors of 5 Ω and 4 Ω are in series, therefore, their net resistance is Rs = 5 + 4 = 9 Ω. 

Now, this 9 Cl and 3 Ω are in parallel, hence net resistance

Rp=9*3/9+3=18/12=1.5

Now, this is in series with the 8 Cl resistor, hence net resistance of the circuit is RT = 8 + 1.5 = 9. 5 

(b) (i) No, specific heat capacity does not remain the same when it changes from solid to liquid. 

(ii) Let us take the example of water. 

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J kg-1 K-1 

and specific heat capacity of ice = 2.1 J kg-1K-1 

(c) x < y. This is because coil B has more number of turns. 

(d) (i) Because this occurs at a very high temperature. 

(ii) 3He2 + 2H1 4He2 + 1H1 + Energy
(e) The two ways are 

1. Strong magnet and 

2. High current.
