Title | Diagrams, experimental equipment and results by J B Peace |
Creator | Peace; J B (fl 1892) |
Date | 1892 |
Description | Eight diagrams, labelled figures I-VIII. Figures I and V show schematic diagrams of the experimental setup used by Peace in his investigations into the potential difference required to produce a spark between two parallel plates in air at different pressures. The remaining diagrams are graphs showing the results observed by Peace relating to potential difference, electrostatic force and pressure.
Subject: Physics / Electricity
Prints of these diagrams were published in volume 52 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society alongside the paper 'On the potential difference required to produce a spark between two parallel plates in air at different pressures'. |
