Theoretical Investigation of Some Oscillations of Extremely High Potential in Alternating High Potential Transmissions

Abstract: Inr: the fol'lowing I intend to give a section of a series of investigations extending over some years, on the effect of the exponential term in the general equation of alternating current:If ,a sine wav'e of E. M. F. is impressed upon a general electric circuit containing resistance, inductance and capacity, the ultinate current is a sine wave also. In the moment of closing the circuit, however, or in any otlher way clhanging the eircuit conditions, upon the sine wave of cuirrent an exponential term is superimposed, of the general eharacter:
