electrodynamometers

Updated: May 18, 2025

Blakesley described a simple method of determining the loss of power in a condenser by the use of three electrodynamometers, one of which has its coils separate. Of these coils, one is put in the condenser circuit, and the other in series with a non-inductive resistance r, shutting the condenser. Prof. S.P. Thompson asked if Mr. Swinburne had found any dielectric which had no absorption.
