← ScienceWhich condition causes decreased conductivity in thermoelectric generators?
A)Increased electron-phonon scattering✓
B)Enhanced Seebeck coefficient values
C)Optimized power factor output
D)Narrowed electronic band gap energy
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-phonon scattering disrupts electron flow, thus impeding electronic transport, because it increases resistance. Therefore, conductivity decreases; enhanced Seebeck coefficient improves power output rather than hindering conductivity, which might occur with other scattering factors.
