Important Questions on Thermal Effect and Chemical Effect of Current

EASY
A thermocouple produces a thermo-e.m.f. of 40μV/C. A thermopile is made by using 150 such thermocouples. The temperatures of the two junctions are 20°C and 40°C. How much thermo-emf will be generated in the thermopile?

Name the temperature for a thermocouple at which its thermoelectric power becomes zero.

EASY
Two heating elements A and B sealed in identical glass tubes are used as heater. They are put in same quantity of water contained in two identical calorimeters. It is found that when connected in series, element A produces more heat than B but when connected in parallel the element B produces more heat than A. But on measuring the resistance of the elements by a metre bridge, they are found to be equal. Explain.
