The use of this curve is illustrated below. So far as efficiency is concerned, without reference to relative costof material, conditions of operation, etc., it is easy to see that thebest results will be obtained when the heat dissipated in the coilsis equal to that dissipated in the iron. Let the heat dissipated inthe iron be H^ and that in the coil M C^R, where C is the currentin the primary coil. Then the efficiency is MEC — MCR — H, Hence, M^nc d e M C-R — H. dC C2 which, when equated to zero, gives M C-R = H^. Again the heats dissipated in the coils and in the iron are eachproportional to the volume of these parts. Hence, if there be no.

This gives the following equations: av = a V = heats dissipated in coils and iron respectively,a t + a^i;^ = // = total heat dissipated, V -{- v^ ^ V, a , it follows that a ^= a^ and i = v^ for greatest this is the case the links become both equal and similar. Itfollows from equations (9) and (10) that a. b — a a b + 3a hence. b — 2a b — 3a = o,or 6 = 30 = 33^ = fcj. It appears, therefore, that for a given volume of iron and copper,supposed equal to each other so as to obtain the highest electricalefficiency, the ratio of length to breadth of cross-section shouldbe 3 in the two-link type when rectangular links are used. The total exposed areas of two links of the kind here assumedand fitting closely to each other is (2aj + fcj) (40^ + 20 + 6) + (20
