Suppose switches $S_1, S_2$ and so on up to $S_6$ are closed one after another in order (first $S_1$,then $S_2$,etc.) at regular intervals of $1 \text{ minute}$ starting from $t = 0$. The graph of current versus time is best represented as:

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below.
$A$. Peltier coefficient is numerically equal to the potential difference across the junctions of the thermocouple through which current is flowing.
$B$. According to Thomson, energy is neither absorbed nor evolved at the junction of a thermocouple but is absorbed or evolved only along the lengths of both the conductors.
