Translations:Introduction to Dielectricity & Capacitance (Eric P. Dollard)/34/en

Work of Tesla, Steinmetz, and Faraday

In the aforementioned books of Steinmetz he develops some rather unique equations for capacity [ Steinmetz 1909, p.11 ff. ]. Tesla devoted an enormous portion of his efforts to dielectric phenomena and made numerous remarkable discoveries in this area. Much of this work is yet to be fully uncovered. It is my contention that the phenomena of dielectricity is wide open for profound discovery. It is ironic that we have abandoned the lines of force concept associated with a phenomena measure in the units called farads after Faraday, whose insight into forces and fields has led to the possibility of visualization of the electrical phenomena.
