quantity of current passing, Fig. 5. For the exact measurement of current, there is no better labor-atory method than the voltameter arrangement of Faraday; andconsequently, this is used for the exact determination of the inter-national ampere, as prescribed by the Chicago Liternational Elec-trical… … Fig. 5. Gas Voltameter 303 8 ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS decomposes the water into its constituent gases, oxygen and hydro-gen; and that this decomposition is directly proportional to thevolume of the current, one ampere hourdecomposing .3359 grams of water.
