Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the exact ratio between two international units used to measure electrical properties. The text begins by placing this project within the larger context of electrical research conducted during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The method used for this research relies on the accurate measurement of capacitors, which required a new form of capacitor to be designed and built that would be less prone to errors due to its physical properties. The book goes into detail on the construction and calibration of these new capacitors, and the meticulous care and controls used in the experimental process. The author's thoughtful experiments, and the novel tools he developed for them, contributed to an accurate determination of the ratio between the two electrical units, marking a significant step forward in the field's collective knowledge.
