  • device consisting of two wires of different metals joined at their ends to form a loop; when a temperature difference between the two junctions unbalances the contact potentials, a current will flow round the loop. If the temperature of one junction is kept constant, that of the other is indicated by measuring the current, or more usually the potential difference set up when the circuit is open. Conversely, a current driven round the loop will cause a temperature difference between the junctions.

thermoelectric device
  • temperatuuri mõõtmiseks ettenähtud elektromotoorjõu allikas, mis koosneb kahest eri metallist (enamasti metallisulamist) juhtmest, mille liitekoht paigutatakse temperatuuri mõõtmise kohta ja mõõdetakse juhtmete vabade otste vahel tekkivat elektripinget, mida sel juhul nimetatakse ka termopingeks
  • elektriseade, mis koosneb kahest erinevad elektrijuhtmest, mis moodustavad elektrilise liitmiku
  • thermoelectric device for measuring temperature, consisting of two wires of different metals connected at two points, a voltage being developed between the two junctions in proportion to the temperature difference
  • electrical device consisting of two dissimilar electrical conductors forming an electrical junction
termopaar preferred
Usage examples
  • Termopaar tekitab Seebecki efekti tulemusena temperatuurist sõltuva pinge ja seda pinget saab kasutada temperatuuri mõõtmiseks.
Good to know
  • Termopaare kasutatakse laialdaselt temperatuuritajuritena.

Usage examples
  • A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the Seebeck effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature.
Good to know
  • Thermocouples are widely used as temperature sensors.
