When two different metals placed in contact, when one is heated, an EMF is generated. This effect is called as
When two different metals placed in contact, when one is heated, an EMF is generated. This effect is called as
Show Hint
The Seebeck effect is used in thermocouples to measure temperature by generating a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference.

- Thomson effect
- Temperature effect
- Seebeck effect
- Junction-diode effect
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The Seebeck effect occurs when two dissimilar metals are joined, and a temperature difference generates an electromotive force (EMF).
