A thermocouple thermometer is connected to a millivoltmeter which can read up to 10mV. When one junction is in ice at 0°C and the other is steam at 100°C, the millivoltmeter reads 4mV. What is the maximum temperature which this arrangement can measure
100\(^o\)C
248\(^o\)C
250\(^o\)C
350\(^o\)C
Correct answer is C
t\(_\theta\) - t\(_o\) = 10,
t\(_{100}\) - t\(_o\) = 4
| θ | = | t\(_\theta\) - t\(_o\)
t\(_{100}\) - t\(_o\) |
× | 100 |
| 10
4 |
× | 100 | = | 250°C |
