Thermocouple:

  • The thermocouple is an electrical device containing junctions of two dissimilar metal joints. It is used as temperature sensors.
  • It works on the principle of the thermoelectric effect or the Seebeck effect which means which states that the temperature difference between two dissimilar electric conductors produces a voltage difference between them.
  • This potential difference is used to measure temperatures.
