THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND 



TABLE III. 



JAN. 24, 25, 26, 1911. 



* The current took 10 seconds to fall from "140-65" in value, 

 f The current took 3 seconds to fall from 73-23 in value. 

 In the 2nd column we have the temp, of air beside the ire, recorded. 

 In the last column the deflections of the gal., and the deflections when the cur- 

 rent is reversed, are given. 



polarization, the phenomena we have here to treat of, are quite 

 different from the so-called electrolytic polarization effects. 

 Ayr ton and Perry 1 noticed similar effects on reversal, and on 

 short-circuting their "cell," (see page 128). In one case, it will 

 be seen that on short-circuiting their cell, the current increased 

 about 17" 5$ of its original value. Similar results were con- 

 sistently obtained by the writer.
