The two types of thermometers work on different principles. A thermocouple thermometer works on the principle of Seebeck effect. When two dissimilar metals are joint together, the junction producea an emf (electromtive force) when it is heated. The higher the temperature of the junction, the larger the is the emf produced. Hence, a thermocouple thermometer makes use of the junction emf to measure temperature.
A resistance thermometer, however, works on the (electrical) resistant property of materials. For most materials, higher temperature causes high resistance. This material property is used to measure temperature.
