 PELTIER EFFECT. 



The coefficient of Peltier effect may be calculated from the con- 

 stants A and B of Table 255, as there shown. Experimental re- 

 sults, expressed in slightly different units, are here given. The 

 figures are for the heat production at a junction of copper and the 

 metal named, in calories per ampere-hour. The current flowing 

 from copper to the metal named, a positive sign indicates a warm- 

 ing of the junction. The temperature not being stated by cither 

 author, and Le Roux not giving the algebraic signs, these results 

 are not of great value.
