roduced by a current traversing the junctionfrom iron to copper. Hence we infer that, at ordinary tempera-tures, the potential of iron is higher than that of copper to anextent measured by the value of the Peltier coefiicient for tliotwo metals, that is to say, by the energy required to transfer… … Fig. 131. 216 THERMO-ELECTRICITY [145 by a current whose direction is from iron to copper at the coldjunction, and from copper to iron at the heated one. The directionof the current may also be stated as being from hot to cold in theiron wire, and from cold to hot in the copper. In seeking for the…
