Peltier effect is a converse of seebeck effect.
An effect where by heat is given out or absorbed
when an electric current passes across a junction between two materials
How do Thermoelectric cooler work?
According to peltier effect thermoelectric coolers are operated. The effect creates a temperature difference by transferring heat between two electrical junction. A voltage is applied across joint conductors to create an electric current.
When the current flows through the junction of two conductors, heat is removed at one junction and cooling occurs . Heat is deposited at the other junction.
