Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Thermoelectricity

👉 Thermoelectricity is a phenomenon in which electrical energy can be generated by converting thermal energy into electric energy. It occurs when a material with high specific heat capacity and low temperature coefficient of resistance (such as metals or semiconductors) is exposed to an alternating current (AC) voltage. The resulting change in the electric potential difference across the material results in the generation of electrical energy, which can be used for heating, cooling, or power generation.
