Abstract
VARIOUS investigations have proved that the thermo-electric force between supraconductors is zero1. This might suggest thatthe Thomson effect in a supraconductive metal is also zero, although it is conceivable that the Thomson coefficients of different supraconductors have the same but finite value. It was therefore decided to determine the Thomson coefficient of supraconductive lead directly.
