A current of 10 A exists in a wire of cross-sectional area of \( 5 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \) with a drift velocity of \( 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m/s} \). The number of free electrons in each cubic meter of the wire is:

If \( \mathbf{A} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \) and \( \mathbf{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \), then the cosine of the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) is:

The output \( Y \) of the following logic circuit for given inputs is: 

When a system is taken from state i to state f along the path iaf, it is found that \( Q = 50 \, \text{cal} \) and \( W = 20 \, \text{cal} \). Along the path ibf, \( Q = 36 \, \text{cal} \). W along the path ibf is:

Consider a pair of insulating blocks with thermal resistances \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) as shown in the figure. The temperature \( \theta \) at the boundary between the two blocks is:

A body cools from 50.0°C to 49.9°C in 5s. How long will it take to cool from 40.0°C to 39.9°C? Assume the temperature of surroundings to be 30.0°C and Newton’s law of cooling to be valid:

The temperature of equal masses of three different liquids A, B, and C are 12°C, 19°C, and 28°C respectively. The temperature when A and B are mixed is 16°C and when B and C are mixed is 23°C. The temperature when A and C are mixed is:

The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by \( C_p \) and \( C_v \), respectively. If \( \gamma = \dfrac{C_p}{C_v} \) and \( R \) is the universal gas constant, then \( C_v \) is equal to:
