Consider the following statements about thermocouples.

1. The emf depends on the difference of the junction temperatures   2. A third metal with isothermal junctions does not affect the emf   3. The output is of the order of volts per degree

  • A.2 and 3 only are correct
  • B.1 and 3 only are correct
  • C.1 and 2 only are correct
  • D.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about a thermocouple circuit

Answer: C

The first two are the fundamental facts that make the thermocouple usable and connectable. The output is tens of microvolts per degree, not volts, which is a difference of six orders of magnitude and the reason low-drift amplification is essential.
