The theoretical formulae for thermoelectric power of metals suggested by Sondhiemer [4] and Wilson [8] have partial success in explaining the experimental findings in case of Au, Ag, Cu, K, Na, Rb and Pb under test at normal temperatures. The magnitude of thermometric power of metals calculated from the theoretical formulae is much greater than that observed directly. A partial agreement between Sondhiemer’s formula and thermodynamic relation [5] is found in meeting the experimental findings in thermocouples. Thermodynamic relation fails to meet the magnitude of thermoelectric power of individual metals, observed directly. The present communication, however, appears to be more competent to meet the experimental findings in respect of magnitude of thermo power of noble metals. The theoretical expression, true for the absolute thermo electric power of metals, is not true for the same in a thermo-couple.
