1. The Lippmann-Helmholtz theory of the capillary electrometer contains two assumptions. 2. The first assumption would apply to any electrolytic cell. A deduction from it, which would apply to any cell having a large and a small electrode, is that the variation of the potential difference at the capillary electrode of an electrometer is the same as that of the applied electromotive force. In order to trace the relation between surface tension and potential difference on the view that this first assumption is correct, it is necessary to eliminate the possible effect of depolarisation upon the form of the electro-capillary curve—i. e. , the curve which shows the relation between the surface tension and the applied electromotive force.
