 lime of charging. 



The resistance of the circuit in this determination was about 

 # 03 ohm, and the condenser was charged by means of the 

 well-known von Helmholtz pendulum*, manufactured by 

 L. Zimmermann, of Heidelberg. The usual manner of 

 making the connexions was, however, slightly modified, as 

 indicated in fig. 4.

The sections of the two steel bars attached to the lower part 

 of the pendulum proper are denoted by A and B. The 

 battery was always in connexion with A and insulated from B.
