Relationship between absorption/evolution of heat at the thermocouple junctions and the current flow in the circuit is given by _____________ effect?
Correct answer: A. Peltier
- A. Peltier
- B. Thomson
- C. Seebeck
- D. None of these
Explanation
The Peltier effect is the absorption or release of heat at the junction of two dissimilar conductors when current passes through it. The Seebeck effect is the reverse thermoelectric phenomenon in which a temperature difference produces emf.
