TitlePaper, 'On the sensitiveness of the bridge method in its application to periodic electric currents' by Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt]
Date1891
DescriptionStrutt writes: 'The most favourable conditions in the ordinary measurement of resistance have been investigated by Schwendler and by O Heaviside. It is here proposed to treat the problem more generally, so cover the application to conductors endowed with self-induction, or combined with condensers.'
