    The cold junction of a thermocouple is maintained at \[10{}^\circ C\]. No thermo emf is developed when the hot junction is maintained at \[530{}^\circ C\]. Find the neutral temperature.

    A) \[310{}^\circ C\]                              

    B)  \[263{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[265{}^\circ C\]              

    D)  \[267{}^\circ C\]

    E)  \[270{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                    As per asked in question, clearly the temperature \[530{}^\circ C\] is the inversion temperature \[{{Q}_{i}}\] of couple. If \[{{Q}_{n}}\] be the neutral temperature and \[{{Q}_{c}}\] be the temperature of the cold junction, then \[{{Q}_{i}}-{{Q}_{n}}={{Q}_{n}}-{{Q}_{c}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]    \[{{Q}_{n}}=\frac{{{Q}_{i}}+{{Q}_{c}}}{2}=\frac{530{}^\circ C+10{}^\circ C}{2}=270{}^\circ C\]
