ence as measured by the current in the resistance boxR, is equal to the electromotive force that exists between the mercuryand the solution in the beaker. A very convenient form of capillary electrometer is shown inFig. 196. The capillary tube is of uniform bore and is nearly horizontal.Its lower… … Fig. 196. be diminished, the surface tension of the mercury surface in contactwith the solution is increased^ and the meniscus travels down thetube, reaching a limiting position when this diffeience of potentialvanishes. If the difterence of potential be further changed in thesame direction, the…
