Thermoelectricity

If the junction, formed by joining to two metals, is heated, a small voltage in

the range of millivolt is produced. This effect is called thermoelectricity or
thermoelectric effect. This effect forms the basis of operation of
thermocouples and some temperature based transducers. This effect can be
used to generate electricity, to measure the temperature and to measure the
change is temperature of objects.
