Temperatures on the empirical centigrade scale are determined by the formula \theta = \frac{x_\theta - x_0}{x_{100} - x_0} \times 100^\circ\text{C}, where x is a physical property that varies with temperature. Which of the following properties does x represent for a thermocouple?

  1. (A)Electromotive force (emf)
  2. (B)Internal resistance
  3. (C)Volume
  4. (D)Length
