A thermocouple produces a tiny voltage proportional to the temperature difference between two junctions where dissimilar metals meet.
<><><>
Thermocouples use rare-earth metals (chromium, aluminum, nickel, etc), usually in pairs. As these metals heat up, they react with one another and one metal sheds off an electron, which is then seen as electricity. Thermocouples usually produce a very small amount of electricity, often only enough to operate electric 'gates'.

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.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
What energy is produced when air moves large turbines that generate electricity?
Electrical energy.
Which form of energy is transferred from the wind to generate electricity?
Mechanical or Kinetic energy transferred to electrical energy.
Example of thermal to electrical energy?
Thermocouples directly convert thermal into electrical energy by using two unlike alkaline metals and having them react. There are indirect conversions as well, such as coal and nuclear power plants. The coal is burned to boil water which then uses the steam to turn turbines. Nuclear power plants are similar, except they use a nuclear reaction to generate heat to boil water.
How do you make electricty?
Several ways. Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy: Generators and Alternators Chemical Energy to Electrical Energy: Batteries Fuel Cells Thermal Energy to Electrical Energy: Thermocouples
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 are the example of electrical?
An example of electrical energy is large electric power plants generate for electrical energy.
What happens after chemical energy from a battery turns into electrical energy?
The electrical energy provides power. When the chemical energy is depleted, the battery will not longer generate electrical energy.
What is an example of heat energy to electrical energy?
Devices called thermocouples do this directly. Boiling water and using the steam to turn turbines which turn generators do this indirectly.
What does it mean by generate electricity?
Create/make electrical energy.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical

Does moving charges generate electrical energy which changes into sound light and heat energy?
yes
How electric current generate?
electric current generate so many types one of mechanical energy convert electrical energy by using generator
