Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 749

Question: For a thermocouple, the neutral temperature is $ 270{}^\circ C $ and the temperature of its cold junction is $ 20{}^\circ C $ . If there is no deflection in the galvanometer, the temperature of the hot junction should be

[AMU Engg. 2000]

Options:

A) $ 210{}^\circ C $

B) $ 540{}^\circ C $

C) $ 520{}^\circ C $

D) $ 209{}^\circ C $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

When there is no deflection, then this temperature is called inversion temperature. It is given by the relation $ {\theta _{n}}=\frac{{\theta _{i}}+{\theta _{c}}}{2} $ Where $ {\theta _{c}} $ is temperature of cold junction $ =20^{o}C $ and neutral temperature $ {\theta _{n}}=270^{o}C $
$ \

Therefore $ $ {\theta _{i}}=2{\theta _{n}}-{\theta _{c}}=540-20=520^{o}C $
