In thermopile, why do we connect thermocouples in a series? Why not parallel? Can we also design a 'parallel connected thermocouple' (thermopile)?
I see. Can you tell me more about the applications of a thermopile?
Sure. Thermopiles are commonly used in infrared thermometers, gas burners, and even spacecraft thermal management systems. They're also used to measure the temperature of various objects, including in industrial and scientific settings.
