Seebeck was born in Reval (today Tallinn) to a wealthy Baltic German merchant family. He earned a medical degree from the University of Göttingen in 1802 but preferred to study physics. Seebeck performed a series of experiments from 1821 to 1823 in the hopes of interpreting 'rsted's findings from 1820. When exposed to a temperature gradient, he discovered a deflexion on a magnetic needle (compass). Seebeck's findings were classified as a thermoelectric effect because he had discovered that an electric current causes a deflexion on a compass transversal to the wire. The Peltier-Seebeck effect is now known, and it is the basis for thermocouples and thermopiles.
