The Seebeck effect occurs when pressure is applied to a crystal so that the crystal deforms and produces a small voltage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Seebeck effect occurs when there is a temperature difference across two different conductors or semiconductors, causing a voltage to be generated. The effect described in the question is more closely related to the piezoelectric effect, where pressure induces a voltage in certain materials.
