The thermo emf of a hypothetical thermocouple varies with the temperature $\theta$ of the hot junction as $E = a\theta + b\theta^2$ in volts,where the ratio $a/b$ is $700^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $0^{\circ}C$,then the neutral temperature is:

One junction of a certain thermoelectric couple is at a fixed temperature $T_r$ and the other junction is at temperature $T$. The thermo electromotive force for this is expressed by $E = K(T - T_r) \left[ T_0 - \frac{1}{2}(T + T_r) \right]$. At temperature $T = \frac{1}{2}T_0$,the thermoelectric power is
