Thermocouples are mainly used for the measurement of_____________?
Correct answer: A. temperature
- A. temperature
- B. resistance
- C. eddy currents
- D. coupling co-efficient
Explanation
A thermocouple produces a voltage related to the temperature difference between its junctions, so it is primarily used for temperature measurement. Resistance and coupling coefficient require different measuring methods.
