    A thermo couple uses Bismuth and Tellurium as the dissimilar metals. The sensitivity of bismuth is \[-\,72\mu \,V{{/}^{o}}C\] and that of the tellurium is \[500\mu \,\,V{{/}^{o}}C\]. If the difference between hot and cold junction is \[{{100}^{o}}C,\] then the maximum output will be

    A)            \[50\,\,mV\]                        

    B)            \[7.2\,\,mV\]

    C)            \[42.8\,\,mV\]                     

    D)            \[57.2\,\,mV\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       The sensitivity of the thermocouple will be                    \[=500\mu V{{/}^{o}}C-(-72\mu V{{/}^{o}}C)\]\[=572\mu \,V{{/}^{o}}C\] Therefore for a \[{{100}^{o}}C\] temperature difference, the thermo e.m.f. will be  \[E=572\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 100\,(volt)\]\[=57.2\times {{10}^{-3}}\]\[=57.2\,\,mV.\]
