A thermocouple is made from two metals, Antimony and Bismuth. If one junction of the couple is kept hot and the other is kept cold, then, an electric current will

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction

Option D is correct because in a thermocouple made of Antimony and Bismuth, current flows from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction, according to the thermoelectric series.
