Effects of Currents Problems - Numerical 09

At room temperature, the thermo emf of a copper constant couple is 40 mV per degree. What is the smallest temperature difference that can be detected with a single such couple and a galvanometer of 100 ohm resistance capable of detecting current as low as 10-6 ampere?

Back to Top

Let qoC be the smallest temperature that can be measured.

Corresponding thermo emf = 40 x q m V = 40 x q x 10-6V

Resistance of the galvanometer = 100W

Smallest current that can be detected, I=10-6A
