MCQ
When a current of 1 ampere is passed through a conductor whose ends are maintained at temperature difference of $1^{\circ} C$, the amount of heat evolved or absorbed is called
  • A
    Peltier coefficient
  • Thomson coefficient
  • C
    Thermoelectic power
  • D
    Thermo e.m.f.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Thomson coefficient
$H=\sigma i t \Delta \theta \Rightarrow$ If $i=1 A, \Delta \theta=1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, t=1 \sec$ then $H=\sigma$.
