For increased speed of response of an expansion pressure spring thermometer, the thermometer bulb should have a__________________?

Correct answer: D. All A , B & C

  • A. Large area but small mass
  • B. High thermal conductivity
  • C. Small specific heat
  • D. All A , B & C

Explanation

Fast thermometer response requires a large heat-transfer area, low bulb thermal mass, high thermal conductivity, and low specific heat. All three stated conditions therefore promote a faster response.
