Solution

The correct option is B E1>E2
According to thermoelectric series, as the distance between the 2 materials in the series to form thermocouple increases, the thermo emf increases. In thermoelectric series Bi and Sb are at the extremes of the series ,therefore thermo emf of Sb-Bi is maximum.
