A) Thermocouple.
B) Thermistor.
C) Thermojunction.
D) RTD.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thermocouple is a temperature measuring device that is made up of two dissimilar metals. When exposed to a temperature gradient, a voltage is produced by this device, which can be measured and utilized to calculate the temperature. Thermistors are temperature measuring devices that rely on the change in resistance with temperature. A thermojunction is a type of thermocouple. An RTD, or resistance temperature detector, is a temperature measuring device that relies on the change in resistance with temperature, typically using a metallic element like platinum.
