alvanometer G will indicate asudden rush of current of great strength, gradually diminishing tozero, and upon disconnecting the generator and connecting a wireacross a h, the cable discharges first strongly, and then graduallydying away. To test the dielectric resistance in this way, the cable must… … Dielectric in Cables and is absorbed by the dielectric, to be given up again upondischarge. Cables for electrical work are thus tested, the battery beingkept on for one minute at 500 volts, and marked according to theirdielectric resistance in megohms — a resistance of very great im-portance in…
