What does a thermistor do that makes it different from a thermocouple?
a thermistor is a temperature sensitive resistor - to measure temperature you must measure its resistance and convert that resistance to equivalent temperaturea thermocouple is a temperature sensitive voltage source(i.e. battery) - to measure temperature you must measure the voltage across it and a reference thermocouple at a known constant temperature connected in series with it and convert that voltage to equivalent temperatureNote: Thermistors do not require reference thermistors, thermocouples do require reference thermocouples at a known constant temperature. Thermocouples are more linear than thermistors, making them easier to read accurately. Thermocouples are available that are far more sensitive to small changes in temperature than thermistors.
What is temperature cofficient in pn junction?
Temperature coefficient of the PN intersection voltage to balance the temperature coefficient of the warm voltage.
What is the relationship between temperature and voltage amplification Theory and Mathematical Information?
With higher temperature, low voltage
What is the difference between voltage and Celsius?
Voltage measures electrical tension, Celsius measures temperature.
Working of thermocouple?
A device for accurate measurement of temperature difference between two junctions. A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals joined at two joints in a loop so that the difference in voltage can be measured. If the temperature of one junction is known, the other junction temperature can be calculated. Since voltage changes in proportion to temperature, the voltage difference indicates temperature differences.
What is the voltage equvalent of a temperature?
There is no equivalent.

Electronic temperature sensor?
Electronic temperature sensors are basically a transducer which convert the heat energy to equivalent voltage . they are thermocouple and also some heat sensing device are available which change their electronic parameter when temperature change those are used in vehicle and aircraft for temperature controlling and cooling.
What are the various uses of diode?
Most people think of diode as a rectifier. Fair enough, it is because an ideal diode is taught to be a rectifier. In fact most people like the ideal diode characteristic; but dislike the non-ideal characteristics of diodes. However, some of the important inventions of our time are based on non-ideal characteristics of the diode. Below are a couple of samples: 1) Temperature sensor. A diode voltage changes with temperature. Assuming a fixed current going through the diode in the forward biased region, and the current is low enough that the diode resistance does not affect the voltage, the forward voltage has a negative temperature coefficient of about -2mv/degreeC. Once the temperature and voltage relationship is characterized with a fixed current, one can tell easily the temperature from the reading of the forward voltage. 2) Bandgap reference and regulator. This is related to temperature sensing as well. Since diode voltage has a negative temperature coefficient, a positive temperature coefficient voltage component added to the diode forward voltage would make an excellent stable voltage reference; a voltage that is independent of temperature. Turns out, the forward voltage is not only a function of temperature, it is also a function of current. To make life more interesting, the temperature coefficient of the voltage voltage is a function of current. In other words, if you have 2 identical diodes with different current through them, the difference in these two forward voltages also changes with temperature. this voltage is: Vd1-Vd2 = (k*T/q) *ln( I1/I2) where I1 and I2 are currents through the 2 identical diodes. This voltage has a positive temperature coefficient and is directly propositional to T in degrees Kelvin. Utilizing this current, one can amplify and convert it into a voltage, adding this voltage to a diode voltage, you have the making of a bandgap reference. As it turns out, this current is also great for temperature sensor applications.
How does the ac resistance of a diode change as the voltage increases?
When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.
What is the difference between voltage and Celsius?
Voltage measures electrical tension, Celsius measures temperature.
What is voltage source equivalent?
A: infinite impedance

Theory operation of temp gauges?
System voltage is applied to the temperature sensor, which is a variable resistor that limits more or less system voltage to pass based on engine coolant temperature. The temperature guage needle then moves accordingly to the varying input voltage sent to it from the sensor.
