The experiments made by one of us in 1883 having given a value for “v ” considerably smaller than those found in several recent researches on this subject, it was thought desirable to repeat the experiments. The method used in 1883 was to find both the electrostatic and the electromagnetic measures of the capacity of a condenser, the electrostatic measure being calculated from the dimensions of the condenser, and the electromagnetic measure by determining a resistance which would produce the same effect as that produced by repeated charging of the condenser when placed in one arm of a Wheatstone’s bridge.
