Sources of Potential Difference S1-3-13 Identify the five sources of electrical energy and some associated technologies. Include: chemical, photo, thermal, electromagnetic, piezo.  

1. Chemical Potential Difference Caused by a chemical reaction between an electrolyte and two different electrodes. When we connect a wire between the terminals, a current is produced.

2. Thermal Potential Difference: A potential difference can be created when you have a difference in temperature. We can transform heat energy into electrical energy by using a THERMOCOUPLE.  A thermocouple is constructed with two wires of different materials attached at the ends (junctions). When the junctions are at different temperatures, a potential difference is created

3. Photoelectric Potential Difference: A special “cell” called a PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL (solar cell) converts solar energy into electrical energy. When light hits the cell, it “excites” electrons, and they begin to move between two materials, causing a potential difference. Solar cells are used in calculators, cars, satellites, etc.

4. Piezoelectric Potential Difference: Certain crystals (quartz) will produce a small amount of electrical energy when put under pressure  PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT. More pressure = More energy  If there is enough energy, a spark will be produced (Used in BBQ lighters.) When electrical energy is applied to this type of crystal, it vibrates. This is how quartz watches keep time.

5. Electromagnetic Potential Difference: A magnet can also be used to produce a electrical current. This is called ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. Moving a magnet through a conducting coil forces electrons to move, causing a potential difference. How a guitar pickup works
