Current Electricity

  1. The thermo e.m.f E in volts of a certain thermocouple is found to  vary with temperature difference θ in °C between the two junctions according to the relation
    E - 30θ -θ²
    15

    The neutral temperature for the thermocouple will be ​
    1. 30° C ​
    2. 450° C ​
    3. 400 ° C ​
    4. 225° C
Correct Option: D

E = 30Ω -θ²
15

For neutral Temperature, de/dθ = 0
0 = 30 - (2/15)θ
∴ 0 = 15 x 15 = 225° C
Hence, neutral temperature is 225°C.
