Important Questions on Temperature and Its Measurement

EASY
Mercury or _____ (water/alcohol) is used in thermometer.
EASY
A clinical thermometer contains a thermistor.
EASY
The clinical thermometer is used to measure the body temperature whereas the laboratory thermometer is used to measure the temperature other than this range.
MEDIUM
Air was used in the first thermometer as it expands rapidly on _____ and contracts on cooling.
EASY
Ethanol thermometer is not suitable to measure low temperatures.
EASY
Name the thermometer which does not use mercury as the thermometric liquid.
EASY

-4,7

EASY
Where is a ethanol thermometer used for ?
MEDIUM
Water was used in the first thermometer as it is largely available liquid.
EASY
Differentiate clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer.
EASY
An ethanol thermometer has a greater value of _____ coefficient of expansion than a mercury thermometer.
EASY
What are the differences between clinical and laboratory thermometers?
EASY
What are the uses of thermistor thermometer?
MEDIUM
Describe about a digital thermometer.
EASY

The resistance of a thermistor at 0°C is 2000 Ω. At 100 °C the resistance falls to 200 Ω. When the thermistor is placed in water of constant temperature, its resistance is 620 Ω.

Assuming that the resistance of the thermistor varies linearly with temperature, calculate the temperature of the water.
