When two dissimilar metals come into contact then electrons would migrate from one to the other due to the different electronic configuration in each. Hence a contact potential is generated, may be of the order of 1/10 th of volt. This contact potential varies with temperature. So when the two junctions of such dissimilar metals are kept at two different temperatures then there will be a small difference of these contact potential of the order of 1/100 th of volt. This is the mechanism
A thermometer typically consists of a temperature-sensitive element (such as mercury or a thermocouple) that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. This expansion or contraction is then converted into a temperature reading on a scale by mechanisms such as a bimetallic strip, a digital sensor, or a liquid crystal display.
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.
No, a thermocouple does not convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It generates electricity by using the Seebeck effect, which is based on the temperature difference between two different metals. The thermocouple produces voltage directly from heat.
A thermocouple is a device that measures temperature by detecting changes in voltage when there is a difference in temperature between two different metals. When one end of the thermocouple is heated or cooled, it creates a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference. This voltage is then converted into a temperature reading by a thermometer or temperature controller.
When there is a heat differential between its ends

The output of the thermocouple is linear.
The pairing mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance.

Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.
is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?
The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.
You should not paint a thermocouple.
To test a thermocouple on a water heater, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage output. Disconnect the thermocouple from the control unit and place the multimeter probes on the thermocouple terminals. A functioning thermocouple should produce a voltage reading within the expected range. If the reading is outside this range, the thermocouple may need to be replaced.
Yes, it's an active transducer. A thermocouple is passive not active
not much, but it will depend on the type of thermocouple
