Abstract
In this work, the operation of thermoelectric generators is analyzed within the framework of a circuital model. It is found that electric current-induced modification of the difference temperature gives rise to an effective electrical resistance. This effective resistance depends on thermal conductivities and has to be taken into account in the parameter extraction procedure.
