Distinguish between Seebeck and Peltier effect .
Seebeck’s effect
|
Peltier effect
|
When two dissimilar metals are joined together so that two junctions are formed and if one junction is heated and other is cooled then electric current flows through it.
|
When electric current flows through a junction of two metals of thermocouple, then heat is generated at one junction and heat is absorbed at the other junction.
|
emf is developed across the two junction.
|
One junction gets heated and other get cooled.
|
emf generated is small in mV.
|
Heat generated or absorbed is small.
|
Amount of heat generated depends on pair of metals and temperature difference.
|
Amount of heat generated depends on pair of metals and current through it.
