Abstract
We consider a method of determining the heat load on a thermoelectric element, based on the experimental current-voltage characteristic of the latter. The possibility of determining the efficiency parameters of the thermoelectric element is indicated; this is accomplished on the basis of the initial dynamic slope of the current-voltage characteristic.
