A thermocouple consists of two wires made of different metals. When one end is exposed to heat (hot junction) while the other remains at a different temperature (cold junction), a voltage is generated due to the Seebeck effect. This voltage is proportional to the temperature difference, allowing temperature measurement. Thermocouples are widely used for their simplicity and durability in various industries.
