Consider the following two statements

A

and

B

, and identify the correct choice out of given answers

A. Thermo

e.\mathrm{m}\mathrm{.f}.

is minimum at neutral temperature of a thermocouple

B. When two junctions made of two different metallic wires are maintained at different temperatures, an electric current is generated in the circuit

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

A

is false and

B

is true

Option A is correct because thermo emf is maximum at neutral temperature and an electric current is generated when two junctions of different metallic wires are maintained at different temperatures.
