A cable, shown in sec-tion in fig. 3, contains twoconductors, an inner cen-tral conductor and an outerconcentric conductor, insu-lated from one another andthe water in which thewhole is immersed. Thewhole cable is supposed to • be arranged in the circular ~ZZZZZ^ZIZ^ form of fig. 2. 2irr, 2irr are the total resistances of the inner and outerconductors :.
