Seebeckeffektinä
Seebeckeffektinä, often referred to as the Seebeck effect, describes the phenomenon where a temperature difference between two dissimilar conductors or semiconductors creates an electrical voltage. This voltage, known as the thermoelectric voltage, is directly proportional to the temperature difference and the material properties of the conductors. The effect is a consequence of the movement of charge carriers (electrons or holes) within the materials. When one end of a conductor is heated, the charge carriers at that end gain kinetic energy and diffuse towards the cooler end. In a circuit formed by two different materials, this diffusion leads to a net accumulation of charge at the ends, generating a potential difference.
The magnitude of the Seebeck effect is quantified by the Seebeck coefficient, which varies for different materials.
