What is the Thomson Effect?Thomson effect definitionThe Thomson effect is an important part of the phenomenon of thermoelectricity, which describes the phenomenon of heat absorption or release in a conductor (or semiconductor) in the presence of a temperature gradient when an electric current is passed through the conductor.Working principleWhen an electric current passes through a conductor with a temperature gradient, the electrons (or other charge carriers) experience a different thermal envi
