Q. No.The current passing through a certain device doubles when the temperature rises by \(10^{\circ}\text{C}\), in the temperature range from \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\) to \(500^{\circ}\text{C}\). This effect is used to measure the temperature of a sample. The current is measured to be \(5~\text{mA}\) at \(15^{\circ}\text{C}\) and then the next measurement shows a current of \(50~\text{mA}\). The temperature of the new measurement is nearly: (take \(\text{log}_{10}2 \simeq 0.3\), if required)

2. \(50^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(450^{\circ}\text{C}\)
4. \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\)

A cell is connected between \(A\) and \(B\) and it is observed that \(V_{C}=V_{D}\) while the corresponding ammeter current is also noted. When the cell (between \(A\) and \(B\)) is disconnected, and ends \(B\) and \(C\) are connected: the current through an ammeter \(A\) is found to have the same magnitude (but in opposite direction). Then, the resistance \(R\) is:
| 1. | equals \(400~\Omega.\) |
| 2. | equals \(200~\Omega.\) |
| 3. | can have any value less than \(400~\Omega.\) |
| 4. | cannot be determined from the given information. |
