Thermometers are used to measure temperatures. The temperature of the hot junction of the thermocouple is [tex]520^oC[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]EMF = 15mv[/tex]

[tex]T_1 =20^oC[/tex] --- Temperature at cold junction

[tex]s = 0.03mv/^oC[/tex] ---- Sensitivity

The temperature [tex]T_2[/tex] at the hot junction is calculated as follows:

[tex]T_2 = \frac{EMF}{s} + T_1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]T_2 = \frac{15mv}{0.03mv/^oC} + 20^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_2 = \frac{15}{0.03/^oC} + 20^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_2 = \frac{15}{0.03}^oC + 20^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_2 = 500^oC + 20^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_2 = 520^oC[/tex]

Hence, the temperature of the hot junction of the thermocouple is [tex]520^oC[/tex]
