Thermocouple is a heat sensing device.
It is made up of 2 dissimilar metals twisted/joined at one end called a junction and that is made Hot and the other end or tell end is cold (may be at 0 degree C). then a voltage is developed accross the two dissimilar metal, this principle is called SEEBECK EFFECT.
The voltage developed is directly propersional to the difference in temperature.

is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?
Is thermocouple a transducer?
Yes, it's an active transducer. A thermocouple is passive not active
What is neutral temperature in thermocouple?
The maximum sensed
List of active transducer?
thermocouple,piezoelectric transducer,photoelectric transducer.
What kind of probe would you attach to a thermocouple or thermistor to measure the temperature inside an oven?
Air Probe.
Is thermocouple output linear?
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
Is thermocouple used in fridges?
Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
Which materials could you use to create a thermocouple?
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.
What is the purpose of the thermocouple?
The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.

What type of colour are use to paint thermocouple?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
What is the maximum power in Watts that can be attained from a thermocouple?
not much, but it will depend on the type of thermocouple
Is thermocouple a transducer?

Thermocouple instruments are also known as?
The thermocouple is a sensore used to measure temperature. The thermocouple are made with two wires of different metals. joined together at one end to from a junction the thermocouple outputs in a a Milli volts .
What role does the reference junction play in thermocouple readings?
The reference junction, also known as the cold junction, serves as the point where the thermocouple temperature is compared to the known temperature of the reference junction. This comparison helps to accurately determine the temperature at the measurement point. The reference junction compensation is required because the output voltage of the thermocouple is dependent on the temperature difference between the measurement point and the reference junction.
Thermal manifold temperature instability ?
Cause: Poor thermocouple contactSolution: Check the thermocouple
How do you produce 230 volt by thermocouple action?
To produce 230 volts using thermocouple action, you would need to connect multiple thermocouples in series to add up their voltages. Each individual thermocouple generates a small voltage, typically in the range of millivolts, so by connecting them in series you can sum up their voltages to achieve the desired 230 volts. Keep in mind that the number of thermocouples needed would depend on the voltage output of each thermocouple and the overall design of the setup.
