  • question_answer
    The thermo-emf of a thermocouple is \[25\mu V{{/}^{o}}C\] at room temperature. A galvanometer of \[40\,\Omega \]. resistance, capable of detecting current as low as \[{{10}^{-5}}\] A, is   connected with the thermocouple. The smallest temperature difference that can be detected by this system is [AIEEE 2003]

    A) \[{{16}^{o}}C\]

    B) \[{{12}^{o}}C\]

    C) \[{{8}^{o}}C\]

    D) \[{{20}^{o}}C\] 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Thermo-emf of thermocouple\[=25\mu \,V{{/}^{o}}C\].
    Let \[\theta \]be the smallest temperature difference.
    Therefore, after connecting the thermocouple with the galvanometer, thermo-emf
                \[E=(25\mu V{{/}^{o}}C)\times \theta {{(}^{o}}C)=25\theta \times {{10}^{-6}}V\]
    Potential drop developed across the galvanometer
                            \[=iR={{10}^{-5}}\times 40=4\times {{10}^{-4}}V\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}=25\theta \times {{10}^{-6}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\theta =\frac{4}{25}\times {{10}^{2}}\]
                            \[={{16}^{o}}C\]
