This potential difference can be up to 100µV and more, depending on what actual metals you combine. And this potential is temperature dependent, why it's often called 'thermo poential'. (I don't know whether this is the correct name in english for it.) The arrangement, where the two metals are in close contact to each other is called 'thermo element'. We usually just call it a thermoelectric voltage. Potential is rarely used in discussion for some reason, we usually say "voltage". The junction of two metals like this is called a thermocouple Steve |
