If a current is allowed to pass through a circuit consisting of two dissimilar metals, there is either evolution or absorption of heat at the junction, depending upon the direction of the current. The effect is known as

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Peltier effect

Option C (Peltier effect) is correct because the Peltier effect describes the phenomenon of heat absorption or evolution at the junction of two dissimilar metals when an electric current passes through it.
