Which outcome occurs when a thermoelectric generator experiences overheating?

💡 Explanation

Overheating a thermoelectric generator reduces power output because increased temperature elevates carrier concentration that favors a rise in internal resistance, through increased phonon-electron scattering. Therefore, power output decreases, rather than resistance stabilizing or rising beyond functional threshold.
