Thermocouples: Seebeck Effect

This lecture covers the Seebeck effect, which is the electromotive force appearing along a conductor subjected to a temperature gradient. It explains how different materials' Seebeck coefficients create a voltage between conductors, the importance of maintaining a constant temperature at junctions, and the use of thermocouples for temperature measurement. The lecture also discusses compensation conditions, reference junctions, and the principles behind passing current through resistors for temperature sensing.
