The thermo e.m.f. of a thermocouple varies with the temperature θ of the hot junction as E=-2 volt  where the ratio (a / b) is 700°C. If the cold junction is kept at 0°C, then the neutral temperature is

a
700°C
b
350°C
c
1400°C
d
no neutral temperature is possible

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given that, E =aθ-bθ2∴ dEdθ=a-2bθneutral temperature θn=dEdθ=0∴ a-2bθn=0  or  θn=(a/2b)∘C∴ θn=7002=350∘C
