:This page's about devices that use the thermoelectric effect. For the physics underlying the thermoelectric effect, see thermoelectric effect. Thermoelectricity (thermo-electricity, abbreviated as TE) refers to a class of phenomena in which a temperature difference creates an electric potential or an electric potential creates a temperature difference. In modern technical usage, the term almost always refers collectively to the Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and the Thomson effect. Analyzing t… (More on Thermoelectricity)
