The thermocouple is normally regarded as a high-impedance voltage source. As such,

the voltage across it due to temperature is sensed, and processed by an amplifier stage

that doesn't rely on it to supply appreciable current. You should think of it as a constant

voltage source with a high internal resistance.

Which thing always remains constant inside a conducting sphere?

An electric charge cannot be established or maintained inside a conductive container. This is the basis of the Faraday Cage, used to isolate a working space from electric fields.


What device is used to transform thermal energy to electric energy?

A thermocouple does this, but a turbine does also.


Is an electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave constant in time?

No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.


How electric current have magnetic effect?

The magnetic force acts only on moving electric charges; A constant electric current produces an unchanging magnetic field and a changing electric current produces a changing magnetic field.


If potential is constant throughout a given region of space can you say that electric field is zero in that region?

If the electric field is zero, the electric potential is a constant value, but it does not tell you what that value is. All the electric field tells you is how the electric potential changes within the region you are looking at. If the electric potential at one end of a cylindrical region is 7 V and the electric field is zero within the whole cylinder, then the electric potential is 7 V at the other end, or somewhere in the middle, or on the side, and so forth. An electric field of zero tells you the potential does not change, but doesn't say anything about what it is outside of the region you're looking at.

What is Thermocouple?

In terms of security, the thermocouple is an integral component of the furnace. A little flame that burns continuously is a thermocouple. It is frequently employed in gas furnaces that have standing pilots. In order to maintain a warm tip, the thermocouple's top is placed in the flame. When the pilot flame goes out, the thermocouple automatically shuts off the gas valve in the furnace. Thermocouples are used in everyday good ,electric power generator etc you can avail thermocouple for best price at partshnc website
