Let rbe the resistance between the sliders when both balances areobtained. Let the battery and galvanometer circuits be bothclosed, and let the former be broken. The quantity of elec-tricity which passes through the galvanometer due to the. 56 Mr. E. C. Kimington on a Method of self-induction in D La A + B ~ G(A + B)*G+A + B C+D+G+A+B -, since AC = BD. B(C + D) + G(B + C)J The quantity which passes through the galvanometer, due tothe discharge of the condenser, K r C + D A + B+G(0 + D) Xg + C + D G+C + D Kyr2C B(C + D) + G(B + C) since AC = BD. Now these quantities obviously pass through the galvano-meter in opposite directions ; and if there is no throw, theymust be equal. Therefore L^B Kyr2C B(C-t-D) + G(B + C)~ B(C + D) + G(B + C) X B Now y T> T Tr 2D If r=B, we have Maxwells method, and L = KBD. Of course it is not necessary to use two sliders; onearmature of the condenser can be connected either to thejunction of A and B or to the junction of B and C, and theothe** to the slider; but by having B composed of two slide-resistances, the smaller one being equal to the resistance ofone of the coils of the larger, and employing a slider on each,a much greater range of adjustment can be obtained.
