What is seebeck and patlier effect?

Answered by Expert
Answer:

In Seebeck effect a voltage (the thermoelectric EMF) is created in the presence of a temperature difference between two different metals or semiconductors. This causes a continuous current in the conductors if they form a complete loop. The voltage created is of the order of several microvolts per kelvin difference.

Paltier effect is opposite to that of Seebeck effect. According to it heat is produced or absored at the junction of two metals on the passage of a current.

Point charge q moves from point P to point S along the path PQRS (figure) in a uniform electric field E pointing parallel to the positive direction of the x-axis. The co-ordinates of the point P, Q, R and S are (a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, –b, 0) and (0, 0, 0) respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is :
