PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterNEET 2011

A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an e.m.f. of in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance whose sensitivity is , is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be :

Answer: (4)

Solution

The smallest detectable current is one division, . A temperature difference of gives an e.m.f. of , so (the thermocouple having negligible resistance) the
