NCERT lines NEET asked again and again

Read these lines from your NCERT book twice: NEET has built questions on each of them more than once.

Steam is a huge heat source because Lᵥ is about 7 times L_f . Before solving, check whether the hot side can melt all the ice; if not, the mixture stays at 0°C.
AIPMT 1988AIPMT 1999NEET 2014
Steady heat flow follows H = KAΔT/L: proportional to area and temperature difference, inversely to length . Rods in series or parallel work like resistors.
AIPMT 1995AIPMT 2009AIPMT 2010
On any linear scale a reading sits at the same fraction between the ice point and steam point, and a 1°C change equals a 1.8°F change , so use (t_F − 32)/180 = t_C/100 only for readings.
