A device that can convert thermal energy into electrical energy?
a Thermocouple
What device can convert thermal energy into electrical energy?
Thermocouple
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What device is used to transform thermal energy to electric energy?
A thermocouple does this, but a turbine does also.
This device turns sunlight into electric currents?
A photocell or photoelectric cell converts sunlight into electrical energy.
What device convert heat energy into electrical energy?
It is a thermocouple that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through what is called the thermoelectric effect.
Is that light energy or heat energy of solar energy is converted into the electric energy?
A photocell converts light energy (radiant electromagnetic energy to be precise) into electrical energy. A thermocouple can convert heat into electrical energy. The radiant em conversion yields much more energy than a heat conversion.
The device that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is?
A thermocouple converts thermal energy into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. Thermocouples are self powered and can measure a wide range of temperatures.
What changes chemical or radiant energy into electrical energy?
I might be wrong on this one, but I believe it is either a cell or a photocell. A cell would be correct, a photocell converts light energy into electrical energy.
How does a photocell convert light into electrical energy?
Light heats a photocell, and the difference in temperature creates an electric current(:
What is the energy conversion for a thermocouple?
A thermocouple uses the thermoelectric effect to do what it does. Thermal energy (heat) is converted into a difference of potential, which is electric (electromagnetic) energy.
In a photocell light energy is converted into?
Electrical Energy
