is passed through a solution of a salt capable of de-composition, it is decomposed in quantity exactly proportional tothe strength of the current. If a current be passed through asolution of zinc, for example, for every ampere of current whichpasses, 0.834 milligram of zinc is decomposed per… … Fig. 78. is taken out, it would be easy to calculate the number of am-peres current which had passed during that time, and inasmuchas the number of candles* light which this ampere will give isdefinitely known, a computation of the amount of light suppliedto the customer is easily ascertained.
