____ effect defines the creation of electromotive force in thermocouple transducer?
Show Hint
- Seebeck effect
- Hall effect
- Demagnetization
- Magnetization
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
This thermoelectric effect describes the phenomenon where a voltage (electromotive force or EMF) is produced across a junction of two dissimilar metals when that junction is maintained at a different temperature than other parts of the circuit
The magnitude of the voltage generated is dependent on the types of metals used and the temperature difference between the measuring junction and a reference junction
This voltage can be measured to determine the temperature at the measuring junction
The Hall effect involves voltage generation in a conductor carrying current within a magnetic field
Magnetization and demagnetization are magnetic phenomena
Top Questions on Transducers for industrial instrumentation
In the force transducer shown in Figure (a), four identical strain gauges S1, S2, S3, and S4 are mounted on a cantilever at equal distance from its base. S1 and S2 are mounted on the top surface and S3 and S4 are mounted on the bottom surface, as shown in the Figure (a). These strain gauges are to be connected to form a Wheatstone bridge consisting of four arms A, B, C, and D, as shown in the Figure (b).

The primary coil of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is supplied with AC voltage as shown in the figure. The secondary coils are connected in series opposition and the output is measured using a true RMS voltmeter. The displacement \(x\) of the core is indicated in mm on a linear scale. At the null position \(x = 0\), the voltmeter reads 0 V. If the voltmeter reads 0.2 V for a displacement of \(x = +2\) mm, then for a displacement of \(x = -3\) mm, the voltmeter reading, in V, is:
