The device for measuring the current or emf is connected within the circuit of the thermocouple. It measures the amount of emf flowing through the circuit due to the two junctions of the two dissimilar metals maintained at different temperatures. In figure 2 the two junctions of the thermocouple and the device used for measurement of emf (potentiometer) are shown.
