    The inversion temperature of a copper-iron thermocouple is \[540{}^\circ C\] when the cold junction temperature is \[0{}^\circ C\]. If the cold junction temperature is increased by \[10{}^\circ C\], then the inversion temperature and the neutral temperature of the thermocouple respectively are

    A) \[270{}^\circ C\text{ } and \text{ }530{}^\circ C\]

    B) \[270{}^\circ C\text{ } and \text{ }550{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[280{}^\circ C\text{ } and \text{ }530{}^\circ C\]                              

    D) \[280{}^\circ C\text{ } and \text{ }550{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    No change in neutral temperature but temperature of inversion is \[{{t}_{i}}=2{{t}_{n}}-{{t}_{c}}\] \[540=2{{t}_{n}}-{{0}^{o}}\] \[{{270}^{o}}C={{t}_{n}}\] \[{{t}_{i}}=2\times 270-10\] \[=540-10={{530}^{o}}C\]
