ntial of the charging current.At this instant there is no current in the closed circuit and, therefore,no current in the open circuit. The energy is all electro-static, all in theclosed circuit and practically all in the electro-static field between thecondenser plates, the capacity of the spark… … Fig. 32. Fig. 32a. charges in the open circuit, the starting point of the disturbance beingthe open circuit inductance. As the charges in the open circuit separate,they are connected by electro-static lines of force and surrounded bymagnetic lines of force, both moving outward at the same rate that…
