current whichreaches the distant terminal of the cable. If a steady voltage E is applied to one end of a perfectly-insulated cable of length /, while the other end is grounded,the potential at each point gradually rises until its valueat any poilit distant 5 from the sending end is Ej=E^-=^, (1)… … Fig. I. by grounding the sending end, then the voltage there at that instant would be zero, but at other places in the cable would be as indicated by equation (i). The subsequent voltage at any point is found by drawing an image of ^^ toward the left, forming a curve DAB, and considering this curve…
