As the temperature of hot junction of a thermo-couple is increased (while cold junction is at constant temperature), the thermo e.m.f .

A thermocouple is made from two metals, Antimony and Bismuth. If one junction of the couple is kept hot and the other is kept cold, then, an electric current will

The temperature of the cold junction of thermo-couple is 0^(@)C and the temperature of hot junction is T^(@)C . The e.m.f . is E=16T-0.04 T^(2)mu volts. The temperature of inversion is

Assertion : Neutral temperature of a thermocouple does not depend upon temperature of cold junction. Reason : Its value is constant for the given metals of the couple.

You are given two materials X and Y. On hammering X is flattened, but Y breaks. Which one is a metal ?

Assertion: When temperature of cold junction of a thermocouple is lowered, the value of neutral temperature of this thermo couple is raised. Reason: When the difference of temperature of two junction is raised. More thermo emf is produced.
