Abstract

The exceedingly high insulating properties of liquid oxygen and liquid air indicate that these bodies are dielectrics, and possess a dielectric constant or specific inductive capacity which it is necessary to determine. We have, therefore, lately made some measurements which have enabled us to assign a number representing, in all probability, a close approximation to these constants. The remarkable non-conducting quality of these liquid gases for electricity enabled us to employ a method which, generally speaking, is not applicable to liquids other than those of very high specific resistance, or insulating power.
