Effects of inductance and capacity (each without the other) at 

 the instant of connecting an alternating electromotive force to a 

 circuit. The current in a non-inductive circuit starts out at once

as the steady maintained current, at whatever instant during the 

 cycle the electromotive force may begin to act on the circuit. 

 The current in an inductive circuit starts out in a manner which 

 is explained in Art. 33, and the current in a circuit containing a
