When a hot metal is placed in a magnetic field, its electrons start moving due to thermal energy, creating an electric current. This phenomenon is known as thermoelectric effect, where temperature difference across the metal creates voltage and generates electricity.

When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?

No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.

Does a hot plate produce light?

No, a hot plate does not produce light. It generates heat through the use of electricity or gas to cook or heat food.


How do you produce electricity from magnetism?

One way you can produce electricity is by using a U shaped magnet and pushing a metal string in the U shaped magnet!You use a galvanometer attached to the string and when you push it, it will become electrical energy! (A galvanometer measures electricity.)


How can electricity heat a house?

There are numerous methods. Here are a few.The electricity could be used to heat water in a boiler. The water is then run through pipes that are connected to radiators that radiate the heat in rooms. The pipes can also be under the flooring to warm the floor.The electricity could be used in radiant heaters. These have red bars as the electricity heats the metal. The metal has a high resistance to the electricity so they become hot. The radiant heater could have a fan attached to blow the hot air around.The electricity could be used in reverse cycle air conditioners that again blow hot air.In each case the electricity is running through a metal with high resistance so it gets hot.


Can you generate electricity from hot metal body?

If two metals are joined to form a thermocouple, then when their junction is heated, electrons will flow away from the junction - a tiny electrical flow. When a metal is heated, electrons will flow away from the hot end of the metal. Once again a tiny amount.

Can a cat's fur produce electricity?

Yes, it can produce static electricity. You can tell if a cat's fur has it by rubbing a cat vigorously, then having it touch something metal. If there is a spark or the cat is shocked, you know they made static electricity
