Which outcome occurs when thermal contact between dissimilar metals?

💡 Explanation

A temperature gradient causes charge carrier diffusion that generates a voltage; this is the Seebeck effect. Therefore, electrons accumulate until equilibrium is achieved, rather than driving thermal equilibrium because different materials conduct energy differently.
