Abstract

The author has, under Professor Clerk Maxwell’s directions, carried out some measurements of specific inductive capacities by a new method. The essential features of it are:— (1.) It is a zero method. (2.) The electrified metal plates never touch the dielectrics. (3.) No permanent strain is produced or charge communicated, as the electrification is reversed some 12,000 times per second. The potentials of the electrified plates were about equal to that of 2,000 cells.
