)pHcable, since the constancy of the re-sistance of the arc required the passage of the entire currentthrough the carbons. It may be mentioned, as an interesting fact in this connection,that when the cuiTent flowing was great, the arc coiTespondingthereto had a much lower resistance than when the… … Fig. 37. electric lamp controlling the arc was measured separately, anddeducted from the result obtained with the german silver wiresubstitute. For ease of obtaining a resistance of german silver wire equalin any case to that of the arc, a simple rheostat was constructed,by winding, upon an open…
