side, and thesame drop on the other side of the line. Since there are 5volts drop on 10 feet of wire of uniform resistance the dropper foot will be J volt, or 1 volt for every 2 feet, etc. Thevoltmeter when placed in parallel with any length of the wirewill indicate the difference of potential… … 232 PRACTICAL ELECTRICITY, now indicates onl}^ 40 volts. The difference in pressurebetween points A and B is 20 volts, since twice the currentthrough the same resistance requires double the pressure tobe applied. The availal)le pressure applied to the lamps is40 volts. If the wires considered above…
