Question about a thermoelectric cooler (TEC)

Why is it expected that one side has a greater difference from room temperature to the other?

In my experiment, there was a larger difference between the room and the cold block

Thanks

Basically thermoelectric coolers operate according to the peltier effect. And as the effect says it will create a temperature difference by transferring heat between two electrical Junction. Here Due to the applied voltage , current flows through the Junction of of the two conductors, heat is removed at one Junction side and cooling occurs and heat is deposited at other Junction.

Now as we do this experiment in the room then, the two block of the thermoelectric cooler will create a hot and cold side and when we take a single stage thermoelectric cooler in our experiment then it would produce q maximum temperature difference of about 70° C which is comparably large to feel in a room so that, when we do this experiment we will feel the temperature difference pf about 70° C in between the room temperature and the cold block side.

Here when current passes through one or more pair of n to p type , then decrease in temperature at Junction feels which result in absorption of heat from the environment at the hot block side this heat is carried along the elements by electron transport and released on the opposite side as the electron move from high to low energy state.

This question came about from a side discussion that arose on this: Does GR provide a maximum electric field limit? Can we change our choice of coordinate system completely independent of physical motion, and still refer to coordinate dependent components as observations? For example if we have an inertial coordinate system in which we measure the electric field to be E, and now I want to boost the coordinate system to a different inertial coordinate system and state what the...

One question that I've thought about recently has to do with clouds. We've learned about the formation of clouds but haven't really gotten that much deeper in the topic. I remember reading an article a while ago about bacteria existing in clouds but I wan't to completely sure on the accuracy of the source so my question then is, can living organisms exist in clouds? If operating under the idea that yes, specific organisms can in fact exist inside clouds,...

Ed's Tires and Brakes has two locations, one on the northwest side of town and one on the southeast side of town. At both locations are performed routine tire repairs and rotations, as well as expensive brake repairs. This past week, 60% of the cars serviced at Ed's were serviced at the northwest location, while 40% of the cars were serviced at the southeast location. (No car was serviced at both locations.) Brake repairs were more typical at the northwest...

Provide one example of a demand-side policy and explain why and how it causes the aggregate demand to shift. Similarly, for the supply side, you need to explain one of the reasons why some may prefer to use supply-side policies.

Think about this medical scenario and answer why physicians may disregard this common side effect of ototoxic medications. A common side effect of antineoplastic, chemotherapeutic treatment for cancer is ototoxicity, development of sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus. Why do oncologists (physicians who treat cancer) sometimes disregard these side effects?
