^r GroundFIG. 48. and X, = R\ V„ The above formula can be modified to give results more nearly correct bytaking into account the fact that the path through the resistance R of thevoltmeter is in parallel with the leak to ground on the side to which it isconnected as shown in the following figure : — … In this case the voltage V of the circuit will not only send current throughthe lamps, but through the leaks e f to ground, and through the ground tod and c, thence through d to b, andc to a, these two last paths being in par-allel, therefore having less resistance than if one alone was used ; thus…
