Thermocouple

A thermocouple is a device used to measure temperature. It consists of two different metal wires joined at one end, creating a junction. When this junction is heated or cooled, it generates a small voltage due to the different properties of the metals. This voltage changes with temperature, allowing us to determine the temperature based on the voltage produced. Thermocouples are widely used in various industries for their accuracy, reliability, and ability to measure a wide range of temperatures, making them essential in processes like manufacturing, cooking, and scientific research.
