HOW TO GENERATE ELECTRIC CURRENT
… To produce a current by thermal action heat is applied to two unlike metals soldered together in two points. The apparatus which causes such a current to be generated is called a thermo-electric couple or thermocouple for short. The reason the thermocouple generates a current is due to the fact that the heat makes the electrons tear off of the negatively charged metal at the point of joint. It is these electrons that form the current flowing through the circuit. Now there exist semi-conductor thermo-elements which without any machinery allow thermal energy to be converted into electrical energy. Falling on a special kind of cell, light can cause an electric current to flow. The device making use of this phenomenon so as to produce electricity is called a photoelectric cell.
Finally, to generate a current by magnetic action, a wire is made to pass through a magnetic field, the latter being set up either by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, the devices which make the electric current be generated in this way are called ―magneto‖ and ―dynamo‖ machines.
