The effects of the leakance G, as represented through the medium of 

 the parameters b and g, may if desired be conveniently formulated and 

 analyzed in a manner formally the same as that already outlined 

 under the heading The General Effect of Leakance. 



In cables, particularly, the effect of leakance is usually extremely 

 small except at very low frequencies. Hence in the graphical repre- 

 sentation of formulas (19) and (20) it will suffice very well to confine 

 ourselves to the limiting case of no leakance (G = 0, and hence b = 

 and g = 0), when these two equations reduce to the same form, namely 



K = Vk 2 -i/E.

The curves in Fig. 3 represent the resistance and reactance components 

 M and TV of K as functions of E with k as parameter.

The effects produced on K = M-\-iN by the inductance L are ex- 

 hibited, in Fig. 3, through the parameter k. These effects may be 

 conveniently represented analytically in a manner formally the same 

 as that already employed for the effects of leakance, un ler the heading 

 The General Effect of Leakance. Thus, if K' denotes the value 61 K,
