    1) The document discusses thermoelectricity and provides equations for calculating thermoelectric coefficients like Seebeck coefficient and Peltier coefficient. 2) It defines the Seebeck coefficient S as the ratio of the thermoelectric power G12 to electrical conductance G11. 3) The Peltier coefficient Π is defined as the ratio of heat current G21 to electrical current I, and is related to the Seebeck coefficient by Π = T*S, where T is the temperature.
