A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an emf of 40 V / ^ C in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance 10 whose sensitivity is 1 A / div, is employed with the termocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be
Options
- A0.5^ C
- B1^ C
- C0.1^ C
- D0.25^ C
Correct answer
D. 0.25^ C
Step-by-step solution
For minimum deflection of 1 division require current =1 A voltage required =i R=1 10=10 V aligned 40 V & 1^ C 10 V & 1 4 ^ C & =0.25^ C aligned
