Kelvin's experiments with electricity

Lord Kelvin conducted experiments examining how temperature affects electrical resistance in materials. He observed that as metals are heated, their resistance increases, and as they are cooled, resistance decreases. Kelvin also explored the relationship between voltage, current, and temperature, contributing to the understanding of thermoelectric phenomena like the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is generated by temperature differences across materials. His work helped establish fundamental principles in thermoelectricity and electrical conduction, providing insights crucial for developing more efficient electrical components and advancing thermal management in electronics.
