(a) Flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the hot junction
(b) Flow from Bismuth to Antimony at the cold junction
(c) Not flow through the thermocouple
(d) Flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) Flow from Antimony to Bismuth at the cold junction
Explanation:
1. When a circuit is made up on any two metals in thermoelectric series, the current flows across the cold junction from the later occurring metal in the series to the one occurring earlier. In thermoelectric series Bismuth comes earlier than Antimony. So, at cold junction current flows from Antimony to Bismuth and at hot junction it flows from bismuth to Antimony.

Answer: (c) The electrons move in random direction with a speed of the order close to that of velocity of light
Explanation:
1. At room temperature, the free electrons in a conductor move randomly with speed of the order of \({10}^{5}m{s}^{-1}\). Since, the motion of the electrons is random there is no net charge flow in any direction.
