When not in useit is hung up on the key K,which then throws the induc-tion coil out of circuit andjoins the line to the key K2,and the distant station canthen call up, since the line isin series with the electric bell3. To call up the distant station, the button of the key K, mustbe pressed. This puts the battery in series with the line and theelectric bell at the distant station. Arc lamps.—Whenever an electric circuit is suddenly broken aspark occurs, owing to the inductance in the circuit (p. 986). Asi rule this spark is very soon quenched; but if the electromotiveiorce in the circuit is sufficiently high, and the materials where the.
