Abstract
An error occurring in a paper by Johnson and Lark-Horowitz is corrected by calculating the thermoelectric power directly from the electrical current density expression. A general equation for the thermoelectric power is given which holds for semiconductors with one or two kinds of current carriers in thermal equilibrium governed by classical or Fermi-Dirac statistics.Keywords
