Abstract: An easy operating tool has been developed for the quick measurement of thermoelectric power. The setup is made using a tweezer which consists of two circular copper plate electrodes. These copper electrodes are fixed to two arms of the tweezer which act as hot and cold probes. The setup has the very important advantage of easy sample mounting and dismounting in just a second and the Seebeck coefficient of the sample can be obtained in just 2–3 min. The present tool can provide a simple method for Seebeck coefficient measurement without any difficulty. One has to just place the sample and press the tweezer, data will be ready in minutes. The setup is clearly demonstrated for its proper working by measuring the Seebeck coefficients of some standard samples. The tool is designed by keeping focus mainly on new researchers or students in the field.
