In the _____________, an electric current sent through a junction of two dissimilar materials results in either a heating or cooling of the junction.

a) Peltier effect
b) See-beck effect
c)Joule effect
d) Thomson effect

Answer: a
Explanation: In the Peltier effect, which is the inverse of the See-beck effect, an electric current is sent through a junction of two dissimilar materials results in either a cooling or heating of the junction. When the current flows in the direction of the potential drop of the junction, then the junction’s temperature decreases and thus has a refrigerating effect.
