Seebeck (Thermoelectric Effect)

Question 1

What is the Seebeck Effect?**

Answer 1

It is when Voltage is generated by Heat **

Question 2

When Voltage is generated by Heat where do the electrons move?**

Answer 2

Electrons move from High Temperature (T) → Low Temperature (T)**

Question 3

What does Steady-State Involve in the Seebeck Effect?

Answer 3

Steady-State → Voltage across Temperature Gradient

Question 4

What is the Formula for the Seebeck Effect?

Answer 4

ΔV = -S*ΔT, where S = Seebeck coefficient (different for every material)

Question 5

What is the Formula for the Seebeck Effect with materials that have 2 different Seebeck Coeffients?

Answer 5

ΔV = (Sb - Sa)*ΔT

Question 6

What is the Formula to calculate Temperature Change via ΔV?

Answer 6

Vc = Vs * e^(-t/RC)

Where:
Vc - Voltage travelling through capacitor (V)

Vs - battery Voltage

Question 7

What is Thermocouple?

Answer 7

It is when Each material producing its own voltage and Have Different Seebeck Coeffects
