Question

Explain why, although both thermometers have been calibrated correctly and are at
equilibrium, they may record different temperatures.

@paki @undeadknight26 @ikram002p

Answer 1

the two thermometers are thermocouple thermometer and resistance thermometer

Answer 2

Just a guessing i have neither experience nor knowledge
Thermocouple thermometer consists of 2 metals ,so metals can dissolve in water and produce extra voltage then that gives wrong reading.

Answer 3

I dont think so. The answer has to do with linearity of values of temperature compared with the quantity used

Answer 4

you didn't talk about water right ??

Answer 5

nop .

Answer 6

why did you conclude that answer won't be like that??

Answer 7

I have the answer of the question but I can't get it thats why :)

Answer 8

Can you link it

Answer 9

I didn't say your answer is wrong. Perhaps its totally right. But I think my question is concerned with something else

Answer 10

yeah just a sec lemme get the answer

Answer 11

temperature scale calibrated assuming linear change of property with
temperature B1
neither property varies linearly with temperature
thats whats written lol

Answer 12

B1 is nothing btw

Answer 13

OK i think they meant that resistance grows exponentially when temperature is changing (ohm's law can't be used)-resistance thermometer-.

Answer 14

I gave up let's w8 @Abhisar

Answer 15

Thanks for helping though :) @Catch.me

Answer 16

np
which college are you in and which year??

Answer 17
