    A thermo-emf V appears across a conductor maintained at a temperature difference T. The Thomson coefficient is then given by

    A) \[-T\frac{{{d}^{2}}V}{d{{T}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[{{T}^{2}}\frac{dV}{dT}\]

    C) \[-\frac{1}{T}\frac{{{d}^{2}}V}{d{{T}^{2}}}\]

    D) \[-\frac{1}{{{T}^{2}}}\frac{dV}{dT}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The Thomson coefficient is given by \[\mu =-T\frac{dS}{dt}\] Now, S = Seeback coefficient \[=\frac{dV}{dT}\] Hence, \[\mu =-\frac{T{{d}^{2}}V}{d{{T}^{2}}}\]
