उत्तर
Neutral temperature, \[\theta_n = - \frac{a}{b}\]
\[a_{CuFe} = a_{CuPb} - a_{FePb} \]
\[ = 2 . 76 - 16 . 6 = 13 . 84 \mu V^\circ C^{- 1}\]
\[b_{CuFe} = b_{CuPb} - b_{FePb} \]
\[ = 0 . 012 + 0 . 030 = 0 . 042 \mu V^\circ C^{- 2}\]
Thus, the neutral temperature,
\[\theta_n = \frac{- a_{CuFe}}{b_{CuFe}} = \frac{13 . 84}{0 . 042} = 329 . 52^\circ C = 330^\circ C\]
The inversion temperature is double the neutral temperature, i.e. 659 °C.
