#1
Front (Question)

What is the Seebeck Effect?**

Back (Answer)

It is when Voltage is generated by Heat **

#2
Front (Question)

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

Back (Answer)

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

#3
Front (Question)

What does Steady-State Involve in the Seebeck Effect?

Back (Answer)

Steady-State → Voltage across Temperature Gradient

#4
Front (Question)

What is the Formula for the Seebeck Effect?

Back (Answer)

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

#5
Front (Question)

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

Back (Answer)

ΔV = (Sb - Sa)*ΔT

#6
Front (Question)

What is the Formula to calculate Temperature Change via ΔV?

Back (Answer)

Vc = Vs * e^(-t/RC) Where: Vc - Voltage travelling through capacitor (V) Vs - battery Voltage

#7
Front (Question)

What is Thermocouple?

Back (Answer)

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