produced by a current traversing the junctionfrom iron to copper. Hence we infer that, at ordinary tempera-tuies, the potential of iron is higher than that of copper to anextent measured by the value of the Peltier coefficient for thetwo metals, that is to say, by the energy required to transfer… … Fig. 131. 200 THERMO-ELECTRICITY [145 by ;i curieiit whose direction is fi-om iron to copper at the coldjunction, and from copper to iron ;it tlie heated one.
