Thomson had, however, previous to the publication of this paper, applied thermodynamic theory to thermoelectric phenomena.
However, this absorption and evolution of heat was investigated experimentally and mathematically by Thomson, and is generally now referred to in thermoelectric discussions as the "Thomson effect.
Such combinations, usually made of antimony and bismuth, are calledthermoelectric piles, or simply thermopiles.
The refraction of invisible heat was ascertained in consequence of the invention of the thermoelectric pile.
Very interesting experiments may thus be performed, and these may lead to the solving of the great thermoelectric problem.
How to Make a Thermoelectric Battery [140] By Arthur E.
Physics) Defn: An apparatus for determining the temperature of a distant point, as by a thermoelectric circuit or otherwise.
Defn: A union of two conductors, as bars or wires of dissimilar metals joined at their extremities, for producing a thermoelectric current.
Defn: A junction of two dissimilar conductors used to produce a thermoelectric current, as in one form of pyrometer; a thermocouple.
If we determine, by means of a thermoelectric pile, the total radiation, and deduct from it the purely obscure, we obtain the value of the purely luminous emission.
It was then found that an instant's exposure of the face of the thermoelectric pile to the focus of invisible rays, dashed the needles of a coarse galvanometer violently aside.
A thermoelectric pile, entirely screened from the hot ball, was exposed to the radiation of the warm gas, while the deflection of a magnetic needle connected with the pile declared the energy of the radiation.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "thermoelectric" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
