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 device used to convert temperature in to voltage?
temperature sensorAnswerA thermo-voltaic junction, or thermo-voltaic pile, is used for this purpose. A thermo-voltaic junction consists of two dissimilar metals connected together; as the temperature increases, an increasing potential difference arises between the two metals. A thermo-voltaic 'pile' is a number of thermo-voltaic 'junctions' connected in series.
Why is the UJT 2N2646 so called?
Here 2 refers to 2 junctions, N - npn type, 2646 - device id number. Though it have one junction, it has been named to have 2 junctions, as it can act as good transistor
What are gap junctions?
are formed by a ringlike connexon which consist of six transmembrane proteins are arranged somewhat like the segment of an orange
Is bipolar transistor is made up of one NP junction?
no, 2 junctions. NPN or PNP
When does a thermocouple produce electricity?
When there is a heat differential between its ends
What does thermocouple produce what kind of energy?
A thermocouple produces electrical energy by utilizing the Seebeck effect, which generates a voltage when there is a temperature difference between the two junctions of dissimilar metals in the thermocouple. This electrical energy can be used to measure temperature or power electronic devices.
Does neutral temperature depend up on temperature of cold junction?
No, the neutral temperature in a thermocouple circuit does not depend on the temperature of the cold junction. The neutral temperature is the temperature at the point where the net electromotive force of the thermocouple is zero, and it is determined by the characteristics of the thermocouple materials and the temperatures at the two junctions.
What is the function of thermocouple?
The thermocouple does not actually measure temperature, but the temperature difference between two points. If the temperature at one point is known (reference junction) then the temperature of the other point (sensing junction) can be calculated.
How can thermocouple measure the temperature?
Thermocouples are two junctions of two dissimilar metal conductors. One junction is the sensing junction and the other is the reference junction. The voltage between the two junctions depends on the temperature difference between the junctions (Seebeck effect). The voltage can be measured and the temperature difference determined based on known readings of the voltage produced by the metals. If the temperature of the reference junction is known, then the temperature of the sensing junction can be calculated.
Is thermocouple a temperature measuring device?
No, by itself a thermocouple can only measure temperature difference between two points (junctions) in a circuit. To use a thermocouple as a temperature sensor, you must know the temperature of one junction by some other means. Often an additional temperature sensor is used. However, in some applications temperature difference is enough. For example, in gas appliances a thermocouple detects presence of a flame because the flame is much hotter than room temperature-- you don't need to actually measure the flame temperature. ====================== Yes, it is. If you look up "thermocouple" in Wikipedia, you will find a very detailed explanation of how and why they work.
How a thermocouple device works?
A thermocouple consists of two different metals joined at one end, known as the hot junction, and connected to a temperature measuring device at the other end, called the cold junction. When there is a temperature difference between the two junctions, a voltage is generated due to the Seebeck effect. This voltage is then measured by the temperature device and converted into a temperature reading.

How is thermocouple WORKING?
A thermocouple is a thermometer made by using two wires of different metals in a circuit. Two junctions are then formed between the different metals-- one of which is joined to the object having the temperature to be measured and the other is joined to an object having a fixed temperature. An measurable voltage proportional to the temperature difference is generated in the loop.
What is the difference between a thermometer and a thermocouple?
A thermometer measures temperature using a temperature-dependent physical property, such as liquid expansion or electrical resistance. A thermocouple, on the other hand, generates a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between its two junctions, based on the Seebeck effect. Thermocouples are typically used in more extreme temperature environments compared to thermometers.
What is a thermocouple thermometer?
Thermocouple is made up with the junction of two different metals(e.g. antimony and bismuth). This is the device used to measure the temperature due to the fact that when two junctions are placed at different temperature a potential difference developed (thus electrical signal) which is proportional to the difference in the temperature of the two junction. This is very sensitive device.
Which device produces electrical current resulting from heating of two dissimilar conductors?
A thermocouple device produces electrical current as a result of heating two dissimilar conductors junctions. When there is a temperature difference between the two junctions, it generates a voltage that can be measured as an electrical signal.
