Electrical thermometer refers to a thermometer indicating temperature variations by means of electrical current flowing through a circuit in which a galvanometer is inserted.
The sensitive element can be an electrical resistance whose value changes with temperature, or a thermocouple (formed by two soldered metals), which also generates specific quantities of current at different temperatures.
