This book describes in detail an experiment that sought to accurately measure the ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of electric charge by comparing the capacities of spherical and cylindrical condensers by two different methods. The experiment was conducted in the early 1900s when there was a considerable amount of uncertainty in this important ratio, and the author, an expert in electrical measurements, achieved significantly more precision than was possible before. The book describes the methods and apparatus used in the experiment and includes explorations of sources of error and methods to minimize their effects, allowing interested readers to investigate the details of the research. The book details the process of measuring the electrostatic capacities of various condensers and explores the corrections necessary to account for errors and achieve the highest possible accuracy. The experiment verified the calculated values for end corrections and demonstrated that the presence of guard cylinders effectively eliminates the end effects. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the measured ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of electric charge and its implications for understanding the nature of electricity and electromagnetism.
