The voltameter is an apparatus used to define the ampere and the volt. The series of experiments described had the goal of improving the accuracy of the voltameter to six significant figures. The authors conducted experiments to determine the impact of trace impurities in the electrolyte as well as variations in other conditions. They then derived formulas to correct for the effects of acid concentration and reported their results on the voltage of the Weston normal cell and the resistances used to measure the voltage. This book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of electrical standards and provides insights into the challenges and complexities of precision measurements in electrochemistry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
