Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 769

Question: For a thermocouple the neutral temperature is $ 270^{o}C $ when its cold junction is at $ 20^{o}C $ . What will be the neutral temperature and the temperature of inversion when the temperature of cold junction is increased to $ 40^{o}C $

[Kerala PET 2001]

Options:

A) $ 290^{o}C,,,580^{o}C $

B) $ 270^{o}C,,,580^{o}C $

C) $ 270^{o}C,,,500^{o}C $

D) $ 290^{o}C,,,540^{o}C $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

No change in neutral temperature but temperature of inversion is $ t _{i}=2t _{n}-t _{c} $

Therefore $ t _{i}=2\times 270-40=500^{o}C $
