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.

These western countries the divided china into spheres of influence, which meant that each country had certain regions of china reserved exclusively for its purposes.

          The united states feared that china would be completely parcelled out in exclusive 'spheres of influence' and that its trade with china would be shut off. The USA, therefore, suggested the policy known as the "Open Door". This policy is also described as "Mee too Policy".

          The division of China into "spheres of influence' has often been described as the "cutting of the Chinese melon".
