  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 ​

    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.

    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.

    I =P = 100 × 103 A = 105 A
    V12560

    E.C.E. = 0.367 × 10-6 kg C -1
    Charge per minute = (I × 60) C
    =
    105 × 60
    C =
    6 × 106
    C
    125125

    ∴Mass liberated
    =6 × 106× 0.367 × 10-6
    125

    =6 × 1000 × 10-3= 17.616 × 10-3kg
    125

    Correct Option: C

    I =P = 100 × 103 A = 105 A
    V12560

    E.C.E. = 0.367 × 10-6 kg C -1
    Charge per minute = (I × 60) C
    =
    105 × 60
    C =

    ∴Mass liberated
    =6 × 106× 0.367 × 10-6

    Current from D to C = 1A ​
    ∴ VD – VC = 2 × 1 = 2V ​ 
    VA = 0
    ∴ VC = 1V, 
    ∴ VD – VC = 2 ​
    ⇒ VD – 1 = 2
    ∴ VD = 3V ​
    ∴ VD – VB = 2
    ∴ 3 – VB = 2  ∴ VB = 1V

    Correct Option: D

    Current from D to C = 1A ​
    ∴ VD – VC = 2 × 1 = 2V ​ 
    VA = 0
    ∴ VC = 1V, 
    ∴ VD – VC = 2 ​
    ⇒ VD – 1 = 2
    ∴ VD = 3V ​
    ∴ VD – VB = 2
    ∴ 3 – VB = 2  ∴ VB = 1V



  1. A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an e.m.f. of 40 µV/°C in the linear range of temperature.
