. The elements of physiological physics: an outline of the elementary facts, principles, and methods of physics; and their applications in physiology. Biophysics. •--. 3'. Fig. 25.—Effects of the Extra Current on the Induction Currents* in the inverse direction, it attains its maximum com- paratively slowly, as represented by the continuous curved line 1. Simultaneously with the establish- ment of the primary circuit is a secondary induced current, represented by the curve 2, on the under side of bb, because it is in the opposite direction to 1. Again, on opening the primary circuit its current is suddenly arrested, which is shown in the figure by the perpendicular continuous line 3 3, unaffected by any extra current because of the interruption to the circuit. Corresponding to the opening is an induced current in the secondary coil, which suddenly attains its maximum, as represented by the perpendicular 4 4, and then falls off more gradually, as represented by the curved continuation of 4 4. By this graphic method the difference between the induced current of opening 2, and that of closing 4, is plainly seen; and this accounts for as great a difference in the physiological effects of the two induced currents, the effect of opening being always.
