e of the strengthof the current, to the time which it lasts, and to the resistance ofthe conductor. The number of heat units developed by a cur-rent in any portion of a conductor is proportional to the resist-ance of that portion. When the current strength, resistance andtime are known the quantity… … Fig. 538. fig. 588, consists of a glass vessel containing alcohol, in which athin wire of known resistance is submerged, its ends being con-nected to heavy conducting wires. A delicate thermometer alsodips into the alcohol. When a current is sent through the calori-meter wire for ^ seconds it…
