Abstract

Measurements of the capacitance of a single cylindrical electrode in air have been made for each of the three variables, length, radius and height above earth. The effect of surrounding it by dielectric masses of various sizes was also investigated, and the change of capacitance with increase in dielectric volume determined. The influence of these factors when designing a capacitor of this type is discussed. This electrode has been successfully used for measuring the moisture content of textile packages, and could be used for similar applications involving measurement of dielectric properties.
