Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 775

Question: If the emf of a thermocouple, one junction of which is kept 0°C is given by $ e=at+1/2,,bt^{2} $ then the neutral temperature will be

[J & K CET 2005]

Options:

A) a/b

B) ? a/b

C) a/2b

D) ?1/ ab

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

At neutral temperature, thermal emf will be maximum.
$ \

Therefore ,,\frac{de}{dt}=a+bt $ For maximum or minima, $ a+bt _{n}=0 $
$ \

Therefore ,,,t _{n}=-a/b $
