f the forms of condenser described. Fromthis we see that, with a given insulating material, the capacity canbe increased by increasing the area A of the opposed conductingsurfaces, for these determine the area of cross-section of the field,and also by decreasing the distance e between the surfaces,… … Ftg. 44. the electric machine or other instrument used for producing thecharge, and under fixed conditions in this respect may be taken asconstant. The value of the difference of potentials that is to beemployed puts a practical limit to the extent to which capacity canbe increased by diminishing…
