Q:

For accurate scientific work, temperatures are often measured by

A) mercury thermometers B) alcohol thermometers
C) platinum resistance thermometers D) thermoelectric thermometers
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) platinum resistance thermometers

Explanation:

The resistance of metallic conductors e.g, platinum, increases with rise of  temperature . The increase in temperature results in a decrease of current which can be recorded in a galvanometer if the conductor is included in an electrical circuit. Thus the temperature can be known; platinum resistance thermometer is used generally for accurate scientific work. When two dissimilar metals are joined at the ends, and these ends are subjected to a difference of temperature, a current flows through the metals. Greater the difference of temperature , greater the current. So the curent strength can form the basis for measuring the difference in temperature. And when one of these temperatures is known, we can calculate the other.

Answer

1113122110


In given series 2nd number gives number of  which digits present in the 1st number and so on continues for 3rd ,4th,...


Here 1st no. has only one zero, so  2nd no. is 10 and 2nd no. has one 1 and one 0,so 3rd no. is 1110, so like that 5th no. has one 1,one 3,one 2,two 1's and one 0.So the next no. is 1113122110.
