Detailed explanation-1: -Electronic thermometers have a temperature probe at one end and a digital display window at the other end. They work by measuring how well electricity travels through a wire in the probe. Heating or cooling of the probe changes the flow of electricity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Digital thermometers work on the principle that the electrical resistance of the material changes with temperature. Digital thermometers are different to conventional thermometers, such as liquid-filled and bimetallic thermometers in that they need a sensor.
Detailed explanation-3: -A thermometer that uses a transducing element with electrical properties that are a function of its thermal state. Common meteorological examples of such thermometers are the resistance thermometer and the thermoelectric or thermocouple thermometer.
