distributed. Sir W. Thomsonsmathematical theory indicates that the potential at any point . rises inexactly the same manner as the current rises at the same point whenboth ends of the line are to earth and a constant electromotive forceoperates at one end. Therefore the arrival-curve of the… … When there is a fault, or merely general loss through the insulator,there is conductive connection between the conductor and earth; con-sequently the charge initially communicated to the beginning of theline must iiltimately all escape, reducing the potential everywhere tozero. Therefore, although…
