A voltage generated at the metal junction is read on a potentiometer or millivoltmeter.
When certain metals are used, the voltage varies expon with the temperature at the junction of the two
metals:
V(mV) = a exp(b.T ('C))
An iron-constantan thermocouple (constantan is an alloy of copper and nickel) is calibrated by inserting
its junction in boiling water and measuring a voltage 6 mV, and then inserting the junction in gold at its
melting point and measuring 72 mV.
1. Using linearization method find the value of the constant a and b.
2. Derive and equation for V measured in V in terms of T measured in (R).
