...rapid discharge; but when the flame was 60 centimetres or more above the point, the leakage from 3500 volts was practically the same as if the flame was not lit. * We sometimes found the multicellular electrometer to insulate so well that in five minutes there...

...rapid discharge ; but when the flame was 60 centimetres or more above the point, the leakage from 3500 volts was practically the same as if the flame was not lit. In place of the metal point, a round disc of zinc, 8 centimetres in diameter, was fixed, as shown in...

...point was 15 centimetres, or more, the time of leakage from 240 volts was practically the same as ii the flame was not lit at all. A plate of metal, glass, paraffin, 01 inica, put between the point and the flame, diminished the rate oi leakage. The leakage from 200...

...rapid discharge ; but when the flame was 60 centimetres or more above the point, the leakage from 3500 volts was practically the same as if the flame was not lit. Distance of flame above point Leakage during one minute Remarks Centimetre 1-0 1-5 3-0 6-0 Volts 200...

...rapid discharge ; but when the flame was 60 centimetres or more above the point, the leakage from 3500 volts was practically the same as if the flame was not lit. Distance of flame above point Leakage during one minute Remarks Centimetre Volts 1-0 200 to 60 = 140...

...flame was one centimetre above the wire; and the times of leakage from 240 volts to about 100 volte increased as the flame was raised to greater distances...distances of the flame, with no intervening plate. 17. Similar experiments were made with higher voltages measured by the vertical electrostatic voltmeter,...
