Abstract

During this experiment ,the Peltier Thermoelectric effect was investigated. The peltier effect
states when an electric current is passed through the circuit of a thermocouple, heat is
generated at one junction and absorbed at another junction.The presence of heating or cooling
at an electrified junction of two different conductors. The effect is named after French
physicist Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, who discovered it in 1834. When a current is made
to flow through a junction between two conductors, A and B, heat may be generated or
removed at the junction. The e.m.f generated when using each probe was observed to vary
with a change in temperature. A graph of voltage versus temperature was plotted using the
appropriate values obtained. The Peltier coefficient also known as sensitivity was yielded
from the graphs and compared for the two probes.

Safety Precautions
1. Ensure that the liquid in glass thermometer and thermocouple are immersed at the same
depth in the kettle and ensure that they’re not touching the bottom of the kettle so as to
measure the temperature of the liquid and not of the kettle or the element.

2. The thermometer was handled carefully to prevent breaking as it is fragile.

3. We avoided touching some parts of the kettle as there as they were hot.

4. As the water boiled the steam was coming out from the hole on the kettle so we had to be
careful to not burn our hands.
