The correct answer is Ammeter.

Key Points

• Ammeter
  • An ammeter is an instrument that is used to measure the current in the circuit.
  • It measures either direct or alternating electric current, in amperes (A).
  • It has a set of coils with very low resistance and inductive reactance.
  • This allows for very low impedance, the force that opposes electric current.

Additional Information

• Wattmeter
  • The wattmeter is an instrument for measuring the electric active power in watts of any given circuit.
  • Electromagnetic wattmeters are used for the measurement of utility frequency and audio frequency power; other types are required for radio frequency measurements.
• Hygrometer
  • Hygrometer instrument used in meteorological science to measure the humidity or amount of water vapour in the air.
• Pyrometer
  • A pyrometer is a type of remote-sensing thermometer used to measure the temperature of distant objects

The correct answer is chemical energy.

Key Points

• The dry cell is a type of electric battery which is used for portable electrical devices.
• Electricity is produced through the dry cells from electrochemical energy. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
• A common dry cell is a zinc-carbon cell.
• The electrolyte is immobilized as a paste by a dry cell, with just enough humidity in it to allow current to flow.
• Like a wet cell, a dry cell can work without spilling in any direction, because there is no free liquid in it.
• The versatility makes it ideal for mobile devices.
• The first wet-cell batteries, in comparison, were usually fragile glass containers featuring lead rods sticking from an open-top.
• Hence, they required careful handling to prevent spillage.
• The dry-cell battery development made a significant advance in battery safety and portability.
• Batteries render electricity from chemical energy.
• Batteries consist of one or more different parts, or cells, which contain an electrolyte called a chemical.
• Every cell has two electrodes that are electrically conductive immersed in its electrolyte.
• The electrodes consist of different materials; one releases electrons into the electrolyte, and the other absorbs them.
• Once an electrical system is attached to the electrodes, an electrical current passes through it and supports its operation with electric power.
• The energy contained in the dry cell is therefore in the form of chemical energy.

Additional Information

• Thermal energy
  • It is also called heat energy 
  • It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
  • The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
  • Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a temperature rise.
• In physical sciences, mechanical energy
  • It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
  • It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system.
  • The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
• Nuclear power
  • It is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
  • Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions.
  • Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. the Atomic Number

• The periodic table is based on Atomic Number.
• The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. 
• The periodic table is managed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, or IUPAC.
• In 1869, Dimitri Mendeleev included 63 known elements arranged according to increasing atomic weight. But there were many elements he could not place in the periodic table and with the discovery of new noble elements, there was a need to arrange the elements. Henry Moseley later arranged the elements in the periodic table by their number of protons rather than their atomic weights.
• The modern periodic table orders the elements according to increasing atomic number rather than increasing atomic weight.
• There are 118 elements in a periodic table. There are seven periods and eighteen groups in the modern periodic table.
• On moving from left to right in a period, the size of atoms(atomic size) decreases.
• On moving from left to right in a period, the metallic character of elements decreases, whereas the non-metallic character increases.
• While going down in a group of the periodic table, the size of atoms increases (or atomic size increases).
• While going down in a group of the periodic table, the metallic character of elements increases.
• Electronegativity and reactivity of non-metals increase along the period and decrease down the group.
