Question

The relation between Seebeck coefficient $S$ and Peltier coefficient $\pi$ is given by

• A. $S=\pi T$
• B. $S=\frac{\pi }{T}$
• C. $S=\frac{{\pi }^2}{T}$
• D. $S=\frac{\pi }{T^2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Peltier coefficient, $\pi =T\frac{d\epsilon }{dT}$
Seebeck coefficient, $S=\frac{d\epsilon }{dT}$
$\therefore \pi =TS$ or $S=\frac{\pi }{T}$
