Abstract: A “PN junction element ta which produces the Peltier effect and Seebeck effect within the same element and imparts a noise reducing effect,” which prevents an adverse influence of white noise included in an AC waveform to be supplied from a commercially available AC power supply or a parasitic noise or the like caused by electromagnetic interference on an electromagnetic device that is supplied with power and which is effective when attached at the designing or manufacturing stage to each “low-power” functional circuit which provides a later-attached or externally-attached device is adapted to a “high-power” circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed are a noise eliminating element having a junction of components of two kinds of electroconductive materials, characterized in that the absolute values of the thermoelectric power of the two kinds of materials is 50 .mu.VK.sup.-1 or higher and there is substantially no rectifying action at the junction. Both the Seebeck effect and the Paltier effect occur simultaneous and create a transient phenomena in one element. Because of the transient phenomena in one element and because of the transient phenomenon based on both effects, noises, particularly the standing wave noises generated at around output current near to zero are eliminated. The noise eliminating elements can be inserted in a magnetic circuit of a speaker circuit for acoustic equipment or in a diflecting coil circuit of an electron image display device.
