Which outcome results when a thermoelectric generator undergoes thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

Decreased voltage persistently occurs with thermal runaway because of increased temperature causing decreased Seebeck effect in the thermoelectric materials. Therefore voltage decreases, rather than temperature gradient inversion or maintained coefficients because runaway impairs efficiency; it exceeds optimal operating specifications.
